Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
"Shultz and Fogarty's seven strategies for e-learning success provide a much needed framework for organizations coming to grips with the sea change sweeping over the training industry. In a world where a multitude of vendors in every shape and size make competing claims and consulting firms charge tens of thousands of dollars to make sense of it all, Online Learning Today provides a down-to-earth guide for both the e-learning novice and those at the cutting edge." —Trace A. Urdan, Principal, Senior Research Analyst, ThinkEquity Partners
"This is a great book! I recommended it for our entire executive team. Online Learning Today is enjoyable to read, and should appeal to the mass market for a better understanding of e-learning." —Eric Davis, Vice President of Technology, Learn2 Corporation
"WOW! Seven strategies that make sense—and work! Online Learning Today offers a solid no-nonsense approach that takes the mumbo jumbo out of e-learning. Read this now. Fast, fun and thought provoking." —Boyd Clarke, CEO, tompeters!company:
"While most books covering e-learning immediately jump to implementation Online Learning Today appropriately pauses to consider the "Why" and the "When." Training Directors who are considering e-learning would do well to review the sage advice of Shea and Fogarty before making any rash decisions." —Tony O'Driscoll, IBM Executive in Residence, North Carolina State University and author of Achieving Desired Business Performance
