The all-time bestselling training handbook, updated for new
technologies and roles
Active Training turns instructional design on its head by shifting the
emphasis away from the instructor, and on to the learner.
Comprehensively updated to reflect the many developments in the field,
this new fourth edition covers the latest technologies and applications,
the evolving role of the trainer, and how new business realities impact
training, advancing new evidence-based best practices for new trainer
tasks, skills, and knowledge. Up to date theory and research inform the
practical tips and techniques that fully engage learners and help them
get the most out of sessions, while updated workplace examples and
revised templates and worksheets help bring these techniques into the
classroom quickly. You'll gain insight into improving training
evaluation by using Return on Expectations (ROE), learn how to extend
the value of training programs through transfer of learning, and develop
fresh, engaging methods that incorporate state-of-the-art applications.
Active Training designs offer just the right amount of content; the
right balance of affective, behavioral, and cognitive learning; a
variety of approaches; real-life problem solving; gradual
skill-building; and engaging delivery that uses the participants'
expertise as a foundation for learning. This book is the classic guide
