Michael Allen's e-Learning Library

Most e-learning that is produced for classroom training is
created using instructional models that were introduced more than
thirty years ago. To update design solutions for today's online
learners, Michael Allen's e- Learning Library offers a
review of the basics of instructional design and then lifts the lid
on some common misconceptions that arise from what people think
they know about ISD. Michael Allen's e- Learning Library is
designed to help use time and resources effectively and to build
the best e-learning experiences possible. Filled with illustrative
examples, the book is pragmatic and contains easy-to-apply
solutions.

Successful e-Learning Interface is the third book in the
Michael Allen's e-Learning Library series. Using this hands-on
resource will maximize your CEO impact--connect, empower, and
orchestrate. You will understand how to connect with your learners,
how to empower learners to make the most of e-learning's
capabilities, and how to orchestrate learning events.
