Book Description

Create an effective learning environment!

Corporations are spending billions of dollars on web-based training. But you can't just slap some material up on a web page and expect your employees and students to learn everything. To use the web intelligently and effectively as a teaching medium, you have to understand how to create a learning environment.

The Web Learning Fieldbook gives you access to:
* Sample learning environments to guide you in creating your own
* Links to related sites, as well as customizable electronic templates and tools that you can download and use right away
* Useful, not overly technical advice on how to incorporate web-based learning into your workplace
* A collaborative space for learners, educators, trainers, and mentors to exchange knowledge, tools, and ideas
"Any training manager or instructional designer thinking of adding a web classroom to a workplace learning solution would benefit from the practical advice in the Web Learning Fieldbook. Taking the perspective of the learner, it focuses on how the web can aid in skill development." --Larry Tesler, president, Stagecast Software

Other books may show you how to create an effective training presentation. This is the only practical how-to book and web site that will enable you to rapidly create an effective learning environment.

Katz, , vice president, EDUCAUSE

3.0 out of 5 stars Fieldbook: Good Common Sense, May 31, 2000
This review is from: The Web Learning Fieldbook : Using the World Wide Web to Build Workplace Learning Environments (Paperback)
Valorie Beer is obviously experienced with delivery of webbased content and makes many good "common sense" suggestions. The treatment of the topic is broad but not very deep. Positive: She offers many good tools (tables and checklists). Negative: Too many website references. Fewer website links with better personal review criterion would be far more useful. (Why is this site better than that, etc...) Very passive writing style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference and resource book, October 3, 2000
This review is from: The Web Learning Fieldbook : Using the World Wide Web to Build Workplace Learning Environments (Paperback)
I am a new media technology evangelist, and an expert in the fields of applying interactive learning technologies for education. I found Beer's book to be tremendous resource for real-world examples of what can be considered good and effective e-learning. The chapters are concise and clear, with summaries and reference information. The resource lists are absolutely stunning and incredibly useful. Just for the number of resources scouted and selected for you it is worth is cover price. I would strongly suggest it to anybody interested in learning more in this field.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Web Learning Fieldbook, July 18, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Web Learning Fieldbook : Using the World Wide Web to Build Workplace Learning Environments (Paperback)
This is an excellent reference specifically targeted to someone facing the daunting task of implementing eLearning into a corporate culture. It is not so narrow so as to remove an ability to apply personal circumstances. Yet, it is broad enough to enlighten the implementor to key considerations and pitfalls.
