Customer Reviews

For educators, trainers and managers.

Web-based Training by Colin Steed is an excellent book for educators and managers to decide if they want to consider Web based training. It would also be good for Web based training 101 if such a course were taught. It discusses and compares traditional training methods and how they would be applicable on the Web. Discusions on instructional and curriculum development are very clear and concise. He cites Web sites to look at and provides pictorials of the sites. The book discusses what is currently available and what is in use already. He also includes a section on how to evaluate and justify this type of training. The price is a little high when compared to other web based training topic books but for a college text book it is in line. If you are a developer this book may not be for you however, if you are an educator, trainer or instructor of any type, it is worthwhile reading material. It is dedicated more on the processes of Web based training and not on the technical aspects of it (probably because it changes hourly). I am keeping it as a reference book. I rate it as a quality book that should be on every educator's bookshelf.
