Web-Based Interactive Learning Activities [Ring-bound]

Dave Arch (Author), Sue Ensz (Author), Robie Grant (Editor), Eileen Klockars (Designer)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 2000

Classroom trainers have proven the importance of interactive activities for maintaining participant interest, replenishing audience energy, and increasing content retention. However, many activities suitable to the classroom don't translate well to that web-based environment so popular with corporate and educational trainers today.

This review is from: Web-Based Interactive Learning Activities (Ring-bound)

The information contained in the loose-leaf binder format is right out of the old cute training games schtick. They're the kind of "What is it that gets wetter as it dries? Click on this button when you give up." kind of questions. (Answer: a towel.) Supposedly, then, you have the basis for discussing creative problem solving, thinking out of the box, etc.

There's nothing here that takes advantage of the web's capabilities; it's simply more of the tired old approach of taking paper-based activities and slapping them on the web. Not that there's anything wrong with the activities per se but they certainly don't add much to someone's web-based learning experience.

There are better books available, especially for the price.
