The growth of e-learning has been exponential and is projected to continue. While traditional workshops are still enormously valuable, most vendors have devoted substantial resources to retooling delivery and content for e-learning environments. E-learning is not an either-or proposition but a limitless opportunity to merge the field-proven best practices of workplace learning with the flexibility, strength, and cost-effectiveness of technology-based delivery. Many companies have made successful transitions from traditional training programs to fully developed e-learning initiatives, bringing about tremendous results and huge savings. Many others, however, have floundered in their initial efforts, while still more have simply not entered the area. For organizations that fit any of the above descriptions. The AMA Handbook of E-Learning is an invaluable resource. In exclusive, all original contributions, 27 of the world?s most respected authorities provide thorough, direct answers to the most pressing and universal issues of technology, content, and business. Their eye-opening essays answer questions including: ? What criteria do I use in selecting e-learning programs? ? How do I get executives not only to support e-learning but also to facilities its implementation? ? Is e-learning effective for all levels and types of learners? ? How do I transition my learners, trainers, and program designers to e-learning? ? Should I blend e-learning with classroom instruction? In what proportion? ? How do I pick the best tools, software, platforms, etc.? ? Is e-learning effective for soft skills? ? Build it or buy it. Should I use outside agents or create an internal department? ? How do we make e-learning that can migrate easily to other platforms and networks? ? What technology problems can be anticipated and avoided when getting started? ? How do I communicate e-learning needs to the corporate IT people? ? How do we measure success rates and ROI? Each contributor has addressed several of these and many other questions, providing the opportunity to compare and contrast points of view in determining the best course of action. For organizations yet to take the plunge into e-learning dissatisfied with the results so far, or looking to optimize already successful initiatives. The AMA Handbook of E-Learning is, without question, the most definitive volume available.
