Online Learning Today is an incisive, no-nonsense guide on why, how, when, and where to use e-learning. Shea-Schultz and Fogarty show why an organization should (or should not) implement e-learning, what should and should not be taught online, how to design and deliver it, and where to incorporate it in the organizational structure.
Addressing professionals who want to maximize the effectiveness of online learning in their own organization, the authors teach seven key strategies to ensure success. They show how to tailor courses to the needs of the learner; ensure enterprise-wide buy-in; leverage time- and money-saving benefits; get a grip on technology; effectively design course materials so people can and will use them; connect with global participants; and successfully partner across and outside the organization. Online Learning Today offers a unique new perspective on how organizations can truly leverage learning on the Internet.
