Planning and design for high-tech Web-based Training

This volume addresses the planning and designing of a first web-based training project.

Drawing on their experience with global companies in implementing web-based training (WBT), the authors show how to apply the proven framework of traditional instructional design to the unique demands of designing web-based training, with case studies from high-tech industries, and detailed discussion of the multicultural and multi-language issues that inevitably arise.;This comprehensive primary text is designed for both training executives and managers and courseware designers and developers alike.

Extensively referenced with 26 graphics, 12 tables and a glossary, the work includes numerous real examples to illustrate how language and cultural issues are addressed in courses focusing on both soft and technical skills, approaches and considerations for a variety of training scenarios, and reference lists of resources and associations.

To keep this resource current, an associated Web site provides templates, examples, and links to more information.
