For Absolute Beginners Only
Billed as an "up to the minute guide to the latest in training" I expected more from this volume. Closer attention to the cover notes however, positions this book precisely: "to help you take the first steps towards developing a blended learning training programme". And that is exactly what it does. If you have never encountered eLearning, distance learning, online learning, or any of the variations of computer assisted learning before, but have been given the task of creating a learning unit this book is for you. It is a clear and concise outline of the process, but ultimately it is an overly schematic and simplistic discussion of the topic. If on the other hand, you already have the basics and want to proceed along the learning curve towards an integrated approach to learning and training then look elsewhere.
