Editorial Reviews
"Stories are the jewels of learning and Roger Schank is the prince of storytelling.
This collection of training stories is a must read!"
--Elliott Masie, founder, e-Learning CONSORTIUM
"Learning has become a strategic advantage in business over the last decade,
but in trying to ‘optimize’ that advantage we've sterilized
the process. In this book, Roger reminds us that teaching and learning
can be fun and effective. It's like having a long personal conversation
with Roger--it's fun, interesting, and illuminating."
--Tom Kelly, vice president, Cisco
"Roger Schank is a genius, his ideas are insightful, and provocative.
His latest book is a must read for those who want to stay at the leading
edge."
--Brandon Hall, lead researcher and CEO, Brandon-Hall.com
Product Description:
From Roger C. Schank—one of the most highly respected thinkers, writers,
and speakers in the training, learning, and e-learning community—comes
a compelling book of essays that explore the myriad issues related to challenges
faced by today’s instructional designers and trainers. The essays
offer a much-needed perspective on what trainers do, why they do it, and
how they do it. Lessons in Learning, e-Learning, and Training serves
as a barometer to the issues that often perplex trainers and helps to illuminate
three main points: what can and cannot be taught; how people think and
learn; and what technology can really effectively provide. In addition,
each essay is filled with practical guidance and includes a summary of
ideas, tips and techniques, things to think about, checklists, and other
job aids.
