Organizations are constantly in search of training delivery methodologies that provide affordable opportunities for skills and career growth. Author Michael Allen identifies e-learning as an opportunity that can fulfill these needs. In his book, Creating Successful E-Learning, Allen states that e-learning provides many advantages, but that instead of assisting learners and blending effectively with other training methodologies, e-learning has been a means of simply throwing out massive amounts of information. To help people learn more about how to use e-learning technology, Allen has written the first book in a series that will help advance the field of technology-enhanced learning.
The book presents the foundational process of successive approximation. The book provides an overview of the process of creating successful e-learning programs and includes examples of real world scenarios, challenges and problems with a typical design process. In addition, Allen provides details of the process of iterative design supported by rapid prototyping, including a detailed agenda you can use to guide your design session discussions. The book is full of practical information and examples, and is a great tool to help you develop much more effective e-learning applications. —M.T.
