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.

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.

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.
