A Reference for Training Departments.......2006-04-21

This handbook is a collection of ideas from companies for designing employee training and learning systems. It covers such areas such as creating the "learning organization", outsourcing, electronic performance systems, interactive multimedia training systems, diversity training and development, training for global operations and benchmarking for best practices.

This comprehensive handbook helps trainers design classrooms, self-study and computer and web based training programs. While delivering the latest information on how adults learn best, it shows trainers how to prepare lesson plans, create visual aids, and deliver dynamic and powerful presentations.

Classic reference for Training & Development Professionals.......2002-02-09

The Handbook is arranged to cover almost all aspects of Training & Development. The topics are carefully selected and their authors picked from among the top names in their respective fields and therefore, the chapters are focused, targeted and provide the right mix of information and practical guidelines.

Each chapter addresses a single topic (like corporate universities, customer service training, leadership development, etc.) and is written in a straight-forward manner at the right depth making them easy to read and the perfect introduction to the topic without losing it's functionality as a reference.

No T&D professional should go without this book whether as a reference and a quick source of information when memory will just not oblige or an informative and valuable resource for information and ideas.

The Handbook is divided into 5 Sections:
1) The Training & development Function - Covering such topics as the learning organization, history of training and cost accounting for training.
2) Program Design & Development - The chapters on ISD; HPT; Adult Learning; & Evaluation are brilliantly written. I keep on going back to them again and again.
3) Media & methods - Includes some good case studies as well as Thiagi's excellent chapter on instructional games.
4) Training Applications - This is a brilliant discussion of almost all training topics that you might come across.
5) Resources - While these might be a little dated, they are still quite useful.

Check the table of Contents and some of the samples in the pages so obligingly provided by Amazon.com and don't be deterred by the length or the price of the book. This book is worth every cent and will last you long after you have forgotten the cost.

Educational Trainer .......2006-11-10

This book is IDEAL for anyone who is going to train or teach anything. How to cut the fluff and deliver the required facts.

A refreshing approach to learning and training--I highly recommend it..........2006-11-03

I am not a professional trainer by trade. However, I was recently appointed training coordinator for my department. The Accelerated Learning Handbook has definitely helped me approach my job with a fresh perspective. The information, ideas, and techniques presented have enabled me to more effectively train those in my department as well as those in other functions. Before reading the AL Handbook, I thought all that was needed to effectively teach someone was simply to make sure all of my PowerPoint slides were logically put together. I now have a broader view of how people learn and a sold framework to use when putting together training materials on any topic. I highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to engage the audience and create meaningful, effective training presentations.

Practical ideas for facilitators.......2006-02-21

I have worked with adult learners for more than fifteen years and have always tried to incorporate whole-brained, participative learning. This book provided some excellent theoretical background as well as a lot of new instantly usable ideas. I wasn't even all the way through before I applied a couple of the techniques and got an excellent response from my client.

excellent training tool.......2003-07-06

I was getting ready to prepare a training program for 44 persons when I read this book. Immediately! after I used the guidelines to prepare my session. Preparation was fast and easy -and fun! I really couldn't believe that it was that easy to apply and it has been one of my best sessions to date. I refer to it when I need a refresher or a new perspective. I definately reccomend this book for trainers who need to keep their material fresh and interesting (esp. in-house trainers).

Accelerated Learning Handbook.......2002-01-02

Finally, teachers and administrators have a useful tool to recharge their classrooms/schools. We have become so test oriented that many times we forget that the process of learning comes from the doing. The statement comes to mind that we utter with new approaches," When do I have the time to get it all in?". That is where the problem lies! We are so pressured with these new demands that we loose sight of what is important, the process. This book will give us a clearer picture of how we can recharge our teaching and can provide the key so we can use the ideas to change the way we teach or approach the students' learning who are in our care.

From the supplier: The Community College of Southern Nevada is developing a multimedia lab for foreign language study to provide students with the educational skills to compete in the global market. The school first selected a suitable site for the lab and then determined by the size of the location what type of equipment they should purchase for the lab. The school then surveyed potential lab users to find out what type of technology would be desired. Software and hardware vendors were then given the opportunity to demonstrate equipment that could be utilized in the lab and school faculty members visited labs that had been developed by other schools. Some faculty members had to read additional technology-related materials in order to understand the development process. The school finally decided on equipment and software and drafted a proposal for the lab.

Book Description

Designing and Developing Electronic Support Systems describes the EPSS concept, and provides a systematic process for creating these systems.

An EPSS is a software context that integrates the support needed to perform
a job task - information, software and expert advice - with the actual job task or tasks. EPSSs provide this support at the appropriate time and in the most appropriate format. As corporations cut their training budgets and realize the relevance of on the job support, there is growing acceptance of EPSS as an alternative to classroom-based training. ED4 (EPSS Define, Design, Develop and Deliver), a systematic approach to creating EPSS, is based on instructional systems methodology, and was used at Digital Equipment Corporation to create an EPSS 'workbench' for training consultants. This book describes ED4 and the process that the instructional designers and software engineers used to create the Learning Services Workbench. Interviews with EPSS designers and developers at Digital Equipment Corporation showed that EPSSs created using a systematic approach resulted in a creative, robust and job-relevant software product.

Brown has done an outstanding job of capturing the elegance and brilliance of EPSS in a format that makes it easy to understand and reapply. Her methods have helped my company create a foundation on which to engage a paradigm shift from training to just-in-time performance support.
