Must-buy for 'Pedagogist-Technologists'.......2002-10-26
The people in the e-learning industry could be divided largely into three camps - the Pedagogists, the Technologists and the Pedagogist-Technologists (people who bridge the two apparently divergent worlds). :-)
IMHO, Dr Margaret Driscoll is a Pedagogist-Technologist - a wonderfully excellent one! After ploughing through dozens of good and not-so-good books on e-learning, I find this book (which I borrowed from a campus library) a treasure trove. I strongly recommend this book to any serious e-learning practitioner (novice or experienced) who is looking for succinct and practical information, as well as pedagogically and technologically sound tips - this book is loaded with summaries, templates, worksheets, and more.
Book Description
Internet and intranet technologies offer tremendous opportunities to bring learning into the mainstream of business. E-Learning outlines how to develop an organization-wide learning strategy based on cutting-edge technologies and explains the dramatic strategic, organizational, and technology issues involved.
Written for professionals responsible for leading the revolution in workplace 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 online learning will change the nature of training organizations
• Knowledge management and other new forms of e-learning
Marc J. Rosenberg, Ph.D. (Hillsborough, NJ) is an independent consultant specializing in knowledge management, e-learning strategy and the reinvention of training. Prior to this, he was a senior direction and kowledge management field leader for consulting firm DiamondCluster International.

Excellent!!!.......2003-12-13
This book is a must!!! It is an essential approach for understanding eLearning beyond the myriad of applications and placing it as part of a wider framework.
Knowledge Management = Learning Organization 2K.......2001-11-16
Marc Rosenberg is the Peter Senge of Knowledge Management. He builds on the key aspects that Senge acknowledges as key competitive aspects of organizations that need to learn, adapt, and stay solvent. He starts from identifying the difference between instruction vs information and the fact that so many times organizations get caught up in the "who" and the "how" instead of the "what" and the "why." For any trainer this book was interesting from the standpoint of how he defines different levels of knowledge. There are some key graphics and useful charts that help one grasp the complexity of e-learning. I started reading and thought it would be more about on-line learning, but he really took it much broader quickly. On-line learning is only a drop in the bucket of uses for the intranet. As much as we have out there he points out that there is much more to be saturated. Technology is a useful modality that can complement and enhance existing training. There was no threat to the training industry in his book. Training is still essential--but it needs to accomidate the information age and be much more timely, flexible, relevant. The one criticism I have is the fact that he doesn't address the fact that some people still need to have the classroom experience. There is the framework that you can increase aquisition of information, but if some of the psychological aspects of employee needs are not met--you get a drop in productivity, employee satisfaction and employee retention. There is still a lot to debate but he makes a compeling case regarding e-learning and knowledge management.
Packed With Knowledge!.......2001-09-20
Author Marc Rosenberg provides one of the first books devoted to strategies for developing organization-wide, online learning. He goes beyond the obvious technological challenges of Web-based training to explain that technology and content are meaningless without a culture of learning. But creating this culture means confronting dramatic strategic, organizational and political issues. In this roadmap for building and sustaining a learning culture, Rosenberg offers an essential balance between the structure of e-learning (design and technology issues) and its implementation (acceptance and support issues). His book is an impassioned wake-up call to all executives who are concerned about the future of their organizations. To begin building your company’s culture of learning, ... arm yourself with this practical, yet philosophical, manual — a weapon for professionals on the front lines of the revolution in workspace learning.
good overview and introduction to elearning.......2001-06-29
The author brings a good overview and sense of sincere understanding to the elearning space. The book does any excellent job of arming the internal champion of elearning with the data required to show the executive team the importance, value and return on investment.
E-Learning Review.......2001-04-13
This book walks the reader through all aspects of elearning, from the human side of learning theory to the technical side of capability development and deployment. This was an excellent starter book that covers all the bases when it comes to the subject of elearning. The index clearly presents all of the content so the book may also be used as a quick reference guide where the reader can focus only on those areas of interest.
Book Description
A follow-up to his best-selling E-Learning, Beyond E-Learning explains the most current thinking on how organizations learn and apply what they know to be successful, and explores the increasingly important role that technology plays, not as an end in itself but as a vital means to get there. The book also provides a clear path for helping to integrate learning—including e-learning—knowledge management, and performance support, and will help training professionals and the organizations they serve go beyond common myths and misconceptions about training and e-learning, focus training/learning activities directly on organizational know-how, and implement a framework that can (at last) be a catalyst for true organizational learning.

Fantastic reference.......2007-06-15
I have been using this book for grad course at Roosevelt U. Most books used for the classroom are dry and outdated, but I found "Beyond E-learning" informative and innovative. I would highly recommend this book to all Learning and Development professionals. If this wasn't a very good book, I would take the time to write this blurb.
From Someone who has 'Been There, Done That'.......2006-08-04
Sub-Title: Approaches and Technologies to Enhance Organizational Knowledge, Learning, and Performance
This book is the second edition or followup to the authors original book on E-Learning. It is perhaps the most complete analysis on the subject.
Education is in an interesting time. The basic structure of the ecucational system of a teacher and a group of students gathered around him dates from the time of the Greeks. Computer aided instruction where essentially a computer uses some of these same techniques to pass the knowledge of an expert on to students using a computer.
There are, a lot of little steps between the idea and the actuality. Of course there are the mechanics of how to do it. And there is the problem of finding the right teachers. [One military training course, set up by people who have 'been there, done that' teaches things like selecting a candy bar that won't melt in the desert (M&M's?) and how to armor a truck.] There's also playing on the skill that today's game playing kids have learned playing video games. What a way to teach someone how to drive a tank!
This is a book I'd recommend to anyone interested in or in charge of setting up a computer based training program. Dr. Rosenberg has 'been there, done that' in so far as e-learning is concerned.
Rich with details.......2006-04-06
Marc has taken the time to explain through examples what we need to know to make wise decisions about E-Learning. I walked away with ideas and guidelines I can use immediately.
Essential reading for managers of smart enterprises.......2006-03-15
Once again, Marc Rosenberg shows us the way to really transform our organizations into efficient, effective knowledge-centered enterprises. He warns that e-Learning, like training in general, is often done the wrong way, for the wrong reasons. He busts myths right and left (the section on "the myths of e-Learning" alone is worth the purchase price!), and steadfastly refuses to be swept along by fads, technologies -- or even traditions of training.
What Rosenberg does is to lay out a vision of the Smart Enterprise, in which the focus is on performers rather than learners. He argues persuasively that technologies such as e-Learning, classroom learning, knowledge management, communications and collaboration technologies are best viewed not as individual technologies (or fads), but rather as complementary parts of a balanced strategy for performance improvement in enterprises which effectively translate data to knowledge to information to performance. Detailed chapters then discuss each of the key components of this strategy for performance improvement, including practical advice on how to implement them and where the pitfalls are. Examples and issue sidebars featuring luminaries in the field and corporate success stories add weight to the argument.
This is not just another "business book of the month" full of quick-fix half-truths. It is a mature, broad and comprehensive view of what it really takes to make any knowledge-intensive organization get what it needs to reach its goals. Senior line organization managers will find it essential; training managers will find it liberating and exhilerating -- or threatening. It's required reading for everyone responsible for making their enterprises smart.
Book Description
Multimedia-Based Instructional Design is a thoroughly revised and updated second edition of the best-selling book that provided a complete guide to designing and developing interactive multimedia training. While most training companies develop their training programs in many different technological delivery media—computer-based, web-based, and distance learning technologies—this unique book demonstrates that the same instructional design process can be used for all media. Using just one process reduces cycle time for course development—and also reduces costs.

Exactly What We Needed for a Large, Global Corporation.......2006-03-11
As a large, global corporation, we have over 15 learning development factories scattered around the world, including India and China. Lee and Owens comprehensive textbook provided just the right amount of information we needed to bring our large, diverse learning development population to a common level of understanding. If one could have only one instructional design textbook, I highly recommend this one. The organization is suberb and the forms contained on the CD are perfect for corporate use. Great book! Every ID should have this book on his or her bookshelf.
An indispensable roadmap.......2004-07-04
Multimedia-Based Instructional Design is a roadmap, a AAA TripTik?, to guide you on the complex journey from assessing the need for media-based instruction to the final evaluation and analysis of your results.
This book provides the plan and the tools to monitor the plan. It tells you what you need to do and strategies you may want to try. But it does not teach you step by step how to perform the work needed along the way. Multimedia development requires a multi-talented team, spanning a variety of disciplines-way beyond the scope of this book. You, as the project manager, are responsible for putting the plan into action, obtaining the necessary talent, supervising the production, and evaluating the results.
The chapters are short, simply written, and easily digested. The layout is easy to read, with large text and generous line spacing. The accompanying CD-ROM contains Microsoft Word versions of all the forms, checklists, and instructions mentioned in the text-plus Web-based tools to help you formulate objectives and another to help you choose the type of media appropriate for your project.
If you or your training department is planning your first foray beyond the instructor-led live classroom, Multimedia-Based Instructional Design will help you prepare a cogent plan, point out the potential pitfalls, and provide insight based on over 40 years of the authors' combined experience.
Terrific guide.......2004-05-14
This is an easy to read guide that is extremely helpful. I disagree that this was written by acedemics with no practical experience- there is loads of practical up to date information. I would strongly reccomend the book to anyone needing a strong grasp on the subject and practical examples.
Doesn't seem contemporary.......2002-12-17
Overly generous interline spacing has made a large book out of what is a effectively a small book. Much of the material in the book struck me as on the edge of redundant and out of touch with emerging developments. Many of the references are very dated (seventies and eighties material) and some are simply obscure. The book just isn't convincingly up to date.
The emphasis on form filling will appeal to all those types who like to run software projects by form filling. There is no creative thrust to this book and the complimentary technology angles are weak. The CD contained nothing that I hadn't been aware of in other modes or hadn't created with MS Office components. It is largely an irrelevancy.
For corporate types who want to roll out loads of flannel about elearning project management, this book may be a gem. For developers however, I would recommend Allessi and Trollip as a much superior text. Personally speaking, this book was not a good value purchase by me.
Long on Theory, Short on How-To.......2002-07-27
This book appears to have been written by academics. It contains a great planning strategies but very little in the way of practical information about how to actually design multimedia instructional materials. The accompanying CD is weak, mostly text and a bunch of supplemental forms and planing document templates. It isn't worth the money if your looking for a "nuts and bolts" guide to design.

Good HRIS structure.......2003-01-30
This book comprehensive introduction and focuses largely on what web-based HR looks like in practice,and what this technology brings to HR's most critical functions.
Was this review helpful to you?
Highly Recommended!.......2001-08-07
Editor Alfred J. Walker briefly introduces the new Web-based technologies that are enabling human resource (HR) managers to operate more effectively. He then offers a series of 17 articles by different authors covering these new approaches. The topics covered include Web-based employee self-service, delivering employee benefits over the Web, creating an HR service center, outsourcing and using the Web for a variety of services, including recruiting, staffing, compensation planning, employee development and knowledge management. This specialized book will primarily interest HR professionals, top executives and information technology professionals involved in setting up HR information systems. Since HR professionals are attuned to human failings, we [...] trust they will forgive the book's occasional information overlaps - hard to avoid with a collection of articles by different authors - and frequently return to this solid and specifically useful book.
Book Description
Advanced Web-Based Training Strategies fills the gap in the literature available on this topic by offering a volume that includes meaningful, applicable, and proven strategies that can take the experienced instructional designer to the next level of web-based training. Written by Margaret Driscoll and Saul Carliner -- internationally acclaimed experts on e-learning and information design- -- Advanced Web-Based Training Strategies provides instructional designers, e-learning developers, technical communicators, students, and others with strategies for addressing common challenges that arise when designing e-learning. Balancing educational theory with the practical realities of implementation, Driscoll and Carliner outline the benefits and limitations of each strategy, discuss the issues surrounding the implementation of these strategies, and illustrate each strategy with short scenarios drawn from real-world online learning programs representing a wide variety of fields including technology, financial services, health care, and government.

try different pedagogies.......2005-08-06
How to teach on the web? Driscoll advances several pedagogies that have been implemented in the real world. These may also be effective online. She encourages you to experiment. You should understand that there may be no answer best suited for all cases. So an empirical approach might help.
Interestingly, too, she discusses m-training or m-learning, where m stands for mobile. Cell phones. Here, some scepticism might be in order. Given the limited size of the screen and memory, and the rudimentary keypad. Along these lines, there have been startups that attempted to make software to control databases remotely from a cellphone, for example. These have met little success. The user interface is too constrained for all but the most limited interactions.
Book Description
Based on principles of constructivism and grounded in instructional design theory, this book contains games, simulation exercises, experiential activities, and other active learning approaches that will guide users as they create courseware that is engaging and interactive. It contains openers, closers, practice exercises, simulations, peer learning activities, and idea generators that will engage e-learners from their first click—and keep them returning again and again, A valuable resource to training professionals seeking to deliver workplace learning in an efficient and effective manner.
Customer Reviews:
a photocopy?.......2007-03-14
I couldn't even read it! This book came to me off of the photocopy machine.. with half the pages missing and the rest were very poor quality.
Very disappointing for a $50 book. It will be returned.
Very creative.......2005-10-11
There are many interesting ideas within this book that will help those teaching online courses that include forums. It's not another technology book, but looks at ways to get people communicating online. I like the design template and found it helpful.
A new online teacher.......2005-09-06
I am a new online teacher and found this book to be a good resource. I like the template and the way it is divided into openners, closers, review exercises, and even peer learning. I have used several of the ideas in the book and they have worked well. I just wish there were more examples, but the content is well researched.
Excellent book for online teachers.......2005-09-06
This is an excellent book and very helpful if you are designing online learning without lots of bells and whistles. I liked that it was based on theory and had lots of creative ideas for making e learning both fun and educational. It's not a gamer book, so maybe the title is a bit misleading, but if you are looking to bring some of the interactivity you might experience in the classroom to the web, this is a useful resource.
What games???.......2005-04-14
I have been creating interactive media including e-learning for over 12 years, been a Professor of interactive media and e-learning design for over 8 years, and am currently seeking a PhD in E-Learning. This book is not worth the money. The information in it is only representational of the typical online instruction with message board usage. There are no interactive gaming examples or information for creating e-learning games. The title is extremely misleading.
The same information at a cheaper price with an easier read and better examples can be found in "Engaging the Online Learner: Activities and Resources for Creative Instruction" by Conrad and Donaldson.
Book Description
Not pie in the sky, or what should be, this book is based on over 100 interviews of people in Fortune 500 companies who are actually doing web-based training. This book is written for instructional designers, adult educators, training managers, human resource managers, and workplace educators who are developing their first web-based training program. The primary focus of the book is the design of programs for delivering training on the web while applying principles of adult education.
The CD-ROM contains five different resources, some of which are in addition to the book: worksheets, document and presentation templates, job-aids, and links to the WWW. The book features 24 self-study exercises to help readers reflect on what they are learning.
Customer Reviews:
Why to Buy This Book.......2001-05-04
There is only one good reason to buy this book: it is required for your degree plan. It tries to cover instructional design and web based training, but does neither well. For example, Driscoll spends a lot of text explaining the difference between a Virtual Synchronous Classroom and a Virtual Asynchronous Classroom. She describes each in great detail. The difference: in the first, all students participate simultaneously; in the second, they participate at their own convenience. For instructors, the difference lies in the amount of time spent monitoring the class. Other topics are chunked to the point of becoming meaningless.
After six years of higher education and 10 years training adults, this is only the second book I have ever wanted to sell at the end of a semester.
...END
Enjoyed the Book, Look Forward to Using It!.......2001-04-17
Margaret Driscoll's " Web-based Training, Using Technology to Design Adult Learning Experiences," provides the experienced ID or IT professional an authoritative and useful guide to developing a successful Internet training program. Only two suggestions are made on how to improve this guide. More information on the characteristics of the adult learner could be added, and a separate chapter covering Project Management for web-based training development would be a valuable topic for many readers (especially covering budgeting, resource selection, and scheduling). However, Ms. Driscoll speaks with an authoritative voice, does it clearly, and provides the information in a format that is easy to use. Margaret Driscoll also addresses the importance of curriculum quality, a message that should be voiced more often in our IT degree programs, "Web-based training is about training. This seems obvious, but it is not clear in many WBT programs. It is too easy to be caught up in the hype and hoopla of the technology, and lose sight of designing effective training" (Driscoll, 1998, pg. 234). This fine book would serve well as the basic textbook for a college level course on web-based training.
To WBT or not to WBT.......2000-06-17
I am an instructional designer for a software development company in Boston. We have at least four copies of Ms. Driscoll's book in the department. It's given us a common vocabulary and structure for planning our WBT training strategy. It's helping us make decisions on when to use WBT, and which WBT tools we should use for various training programs. Highly recommended.
Use this as a guide for your development !.......2000-05-02
If you are planning any type of computer training, this book can serve as a step by step guide. It has worksheets and practical guidelines in the book that are replicated in a Microsoft Word format on the CD so that you can simply copy and use the format. They even include demonstrative PowerPoint presentations on the CD to help you setup kick-off meetings, design team meetings and an executive overview strategy.
Outstanding learning aid AND toolkit.......2000-01-30
Web-Based Training by Driscoll is outstanding because it puts the mechanics of web-based training into the context of good learning design. Too often the principles of instructional design are ommitted from resouces like this one. Driscoll provides the reader with the needed conceptual understanding, and then follows through with practical "how-to" tools to guide the reader through the process. Superb resource.
Book Description
Instructional Design for Web-based Training blends instructional design and development tasks with web design issues to outline a methodology for creating effective web-based training (WBT).
This book is based on the perspective that effective WBT does not derive solely from the use of Internet technology, but must be founded on proven instructional design techniques as well. Each chapter addresses key implications such interplay can have for a WBT project team, target learners, training goals, and technical possibilities from planning through implementation.
This book is intended as a detailed how-to primer that integrates fundamental principles with the nuts and bolts of WBT development. It addresses salient issues for instructional designers seeking a reliable guide to creating effective web courses, but who are not sure where to begin or how to proceed. It answers practical questions such as:
When is WBT a viable option?
How can I apply my current instructional design skills to optimal advantage when designing for this new delivery system?
What new skills should I develop?
Who do I need on my team?
How can I meet student needs through this somewhat impersonal delivery system?
What technology is needed to actually deliver the training?
The companion CD-ROM provides a centralized collection of all project planning and evaluation resources included at the end of each chapter. It also contains selected WBT design and development guidelines that are interspersed throughout the book.
Customer Reviews:
Good Instructional Design Applies to Any Media.......2002-06-27
This book is a detailed primer for anyone who needs to know what is involved in designing and developing instructionally sound Web-based training. The authors weave the requirements of Web design and instructional design into a clearly presented process. This design methodology is grounded in good instructional practice and it demonstrates a wealth of practical experience with design and development projects. If you want to know practical things, like the difference between writing for text and writing for a Web-based training product, or how to include usability and summative evaluation in your testing plan, this is a good source of information.
This book comes with a CD containing electronic versions of the large number of design and development forms presented in the book. Instructional Design for Web-based Training is a must-read for anyone contemplating designing custom Web-based instruction. The most compelling reason for reading the book is that the authors realize that the basics of good design are no different whether intended for any instruction-delivery medium or for the Web. While means of delivering instruction are constantly changing, what makes for sound instruction remains basically unchanged. By paying close attention and following the processes presented in this book, you can successfully initiate and execute your own eLearning project.
