--Beverly Popek, director of human resources, professional &consulting services, MCI Telecommunications
The answer is here. The heart of this book is theSequential-Iterative Model (SIM) for training design. A fancy termfor a simple, elegant concept: training should be a step-by-stepprocess with a feedback loop that enables you to continuallyrefine your training based on experience.
"You will not find another book that so thoroughly examinesthe process of creating training events. For anyone who wants to doquality design work, this book is highly recommAnded."
--Mel Silberman, author of Active Training and 101 Ways to MakeTraining Active
This book is a tool to help you design training that is:
* Effective: Accomplishing specific objectives that aim towardsuccess
* Efficient: Meeting training objectives without wasting time orenergy
* Engaging: Involvin g learners and incorporating theirexperience into the training
You get checklists and evaluations to guide your developmentprocess. Out of their many years of experience, Milano and Ulliushave created a practical guidebook that enables you to structuretraining so it is fluid and adaptable. Many guides to instructionaldesign are stuffy, academic, and difficult to apply to the realworld. Not so with Designing Powerful Training. This book iseasy to approach and visually refreshing, with over 70 figures andillustrations!
You'll receive an overview of training basics, including:
* Identifying the central characteristics of adult learners
* Recognizing the essential skills for instructional design
* Conducting a simple and quick needs assessment . . . and muchmore!
Next, the authors introduce you to the revolutionary SIM design.This design guides you through:
* defining training goals and objectives
* designing a big-picture outline for your training program
* refining your outline to create a detailed trainingprocess
* selecting media for your training events
* evaluating the success of your designs.
"I like this book! The [SIM] gives me the connection betweentraining design and organizational performance needs I have beenlooking for in other books."-- Joseph A. Greenberg, professorof higher education administration, The George WashingtonUniversity
An essential piece of the puzzle is the running example that theauthors follow throughout the book. This is where the rubbermeets the road. You see the SIM in action and you recognize howyou'll make it work for you.
