He explains this thinking in clear and accessible language, amplifies the theories with research results, and describes popular approaches by applying these theories to learning and growth. Taking the illustrations even further into the field of e-learning design, he offers useful scenarios and practical examples of how these theories can be employed in online learning programs, providing readers with concrete ideas to leverage them in their own work.' --Nick van Dam, global chief learning officer for Deloitte and founder and chairman, e-Learning For Kids Foundation (www.e-learningforkids.org) ?Here, through research and examples, Allen delivers vivid ways to realize the promise of e-learning.'--Allison Rossett, professor of educational technology, San Diego State University ?While its target audience is instructional designers, this book should also be required reading for all training managers seeking guidelines on implementing world-class training.
