BOOK OVERVIEW

Purpose

To save travel costs and reduce time away from work, virtual classroom technologies are increasingly popular training delivery media choices. However, unless new delivery media are used in ways that promote learning, cost savings are only an illusion. In the worst case, instructors transfer poorly designed traditional classroom training directly into synchronous e-learning environments. By failing to take advantage of the powerful features of these new online tools, their potential is not realized. In this book we provide research and experienced-based guidelines of how to most effectively leverage virtual classroom technologies for learning.
