Evidence-based Training Methods ─ A Guide for Training Professionals

Clark, a specialist in instructional design and workforce learning, summarizes evidence on training methods for classroom instructors, training materials developers, training managers, and e-learning designers. After discussing common training myths related to learning styles, stories, and technology, she addresses issues and tactics like brain-based teaching, learning goals and instructional architectures, and the use of graphics, visuals, language, voice, imagery, examples, and practice. She then covers ways to maximize presentations, structure highly-guided lessons and create scenario-based lessons. Annotation c2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
