Designing Web-Based Training: How to Teach Anyone Anything Anywhere Anytime
A close relative of "distance learning," web-based training (WBT) offers a big advantage over its kin by allowing instructors to design with multiple media in an online environment so students can learn at their own pace and on their own time and still get help from almost any source that is connected to the net. This power comes at a cost; few actually understand how to integrate all of this media into an effective learning environment. Horton, president of William Horton Consulting and editor of The Web Page Design Cookbook, has written a book for the administrator and instructor trying to understand WBT at a very high level of thinkingAwhat it is, how to evaluate it, possible approaches and applications, organizing sequences, testing, collaborating, motivating, and the future. This is not, however, a technical work showing how to use a programming language and TCP (transmission control protocol) to implement WBT. Horton's book will appeal to librarians, teachers, corporate trainers, and administrators.Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
