Synopsis
The first strategy
book on developing organization-wide, online learning Learn what companies
like AT&T, Cisco Systems, Dell Computer, IBM, Lucent Technologies,
Merrill Lynch, Prudential, and U S West and others have accomplished with
e-learning It isn't just the promise of impressive technology that is
driving people to e-learning. Businesses need to get rapidly changing
information to large numbers of people faster than ever. They need to
lower the overall costs of creating a workforce that performs faster and
better than the competition, and they need to do this around the clock.
It's no longer a question of whether organizations will one day implement
online learning, but whether they will do it well.
Most organizations that need to train their employees are experimenting
with some form of Web-delivered learning. But most organizations have
focused on the technological challenges, buying the right software,
getting enough bandwidth allocated for Web-based training, designing
courseware, etc. These are important first steps but the larger strategic
issues remain unsolved: how to make e-learning part of the daily work
culture, and fully implement its power. E-Learning is the first book in
this exciting new field that addresses not just the technological
challenges of Web-based training and knowledge management, but how to
develop a comprehensive organization-wide learning strategy.
Author Marc Rosenberg discusses the technological issues but more
importantly, assesses the dramatic strategic, organizational, and
political issues involved in the process of making e-learning a reality.
Written for professionals responsible for leading the revolution in work
place learning, E-Learning takes a broad, strategic perspective on
corporate learning. This wake-up call for executives everywhere discusses:
 | Requirements for building a viable e-learning strategy |
| How e-learning will change the nature of training organizations |
| Knowledge management and other new forms of e-learning |

From

LEARNING AND BEHAVIOR
looks at evolutionary and environmental influences on learning. Chance's
book is stimulating, interactive, and peppered with high-interest queries
and examples yet it still provides the kind of thorough conceptual knowledge

illuminates how the psychology of learning can offer insight into their own
behavior. |
