Product Review
"This manual is the one we have been waiting for! It takes dead aim at all the important issues facing distance learning providers and hits the bull's eye on every one of them. It is down to earth, real world, and up to date. Its examples and insights for practitioners help create the sense of urgency and excitement all of us in distance learning feel today." (Michael P. Lambert, executive director, Distance Education and Training Council)
"This book presents an insightful view of distance training and the use of technology in organizations. It will be of great value to all educators and trainers interested in this important topic." (Greg Kearsley, program professor, Instructional Technology and Distance Education Program, Nova Southeastern University)
"An excellent, comprehensive study of the potential strategic benefits of distance learning to organizations. Certainly, if the federal government is to utilize information to improve services, it first must harness these same technologies to improve the training of its workforce." (Alan C. Lorish Jr., champion for IT training, Government Information Technology Services Board)

Today's advances in communications technology have created exciting new possibilities for training professionals. But not all technologies are created equal. Distance Training examines these new tools to show how compressed video, satellite broadcasting, the Internet, and other innovations can each be used to their best advantage. In-depth case studies of sixteen progressive organizations--NYNEX, Bell Atlantic, and Unisys among them--provide real-world models readers can use to design learning programs that transcend the traditional boundaries of time and space by turning the home, office, and meeting room into immediate, effective learning environments.
Customer Reviews & Comments
The book deserves the merit of showing diverse Instructional Theories frameworks applied to both Academic and Corporate environments. It becomes even more comprehensive at the point the case studies are shown, so it is easy to evaluate the applicability of all methodologies presented to a certain purpose.
