The Library is Full of Surprises
While seraching for resources for other subjects i came across a book titled “Using E-Learning” by William Horton which is published by the American Society for Training and Development. After flicking through the first few pages I became aware of the relevance of his writing for our subject. He discusses E-learning in terms of costs and benefits for organisations and the implications E-Learning holds for Training and Development practitioners. He also suggests possible ways to improve E-Learning and how to maximise such a valuable training resource.
“Realising the potential for e-learning will also require honest acknowledegment of the limitions of e-learning and a consequent targeting of tasks for which e-learning is suited” (Horton, 2002, p.1)
William Horton is also the principle consultant of William Horton Consultanting who created www.desigingwbt.com – an online resource for trainers and facilitators involved in instructional design.
