ABOUT THE INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY AND
TRAINING SERIES
This comprehensive series responds to the rapidly
changing training field by focusing on all forms of instructional and training
technology—from the well-known to the emerging and state-of-the-art
approaches. These books take a
oad view of technology, which is viewed as
systematized, practical knowledge that improves productivity. For many, such
knowledge is typically equated with computer applications; however, we see it
as also encompassing other nonmechanical strategies such as systematic design
processes or new tactics for working with individuals and groups of learners.
The series is also based upon a recognition that the people working in
the training community are a diverse group. They have a wide range of pro-
fessional experience, expertise, and interests. Consequently, this series is
dedicated to two distinct goals: helping those new to technology and train-
ing become familiar with basic principles and techniques, and helping those
seasoned in the training field become familiar with cutting-edge practices.
The books for both groups are rooted in solid research, but are still
designed to help readers readily apply what they learn.
The Instructional Technology and Training Series is directed to persons
working in many roles, including trainers and training managers, business
leaders, instructional designers, instructional facilitators, and consultants.
These books are also geared for practitioners who want to know how to apply
technology to training and learning in practical, results-driven ways. Experts
and leaders in the field who need to explore the more advanced, high-level
practices that respond to the growing pressures and complexities of today’s
training environment will find indispensable tools and techniques in this
ground
eaking series of books.
