"The digital age is infiltrating the training profession faster than most of us can stay abreast of it. In Beyond the Podium, Allison Rossett and Kendra Sheldon bring you up to speed on the new directions in training and development and at the same time refresh your understanding of the fundamentals. They examine the opportunities presented by e-learning, informal learning, independent learning, knowledge management, globalization, object-oriented design, wireless technologies, and more, while revisiting what makes great training and how to do an analysis, as well as providing evaluation strategies and tools."--BOOK JACKET.
