For all 'Accidental' trainers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
You know the story. You have more computer skills that anybody in the office and get corralled into doing some training. "OMG, what do I do now," you think? Don't panic. Take a deep breath. Ask for more time to prepare and immediately order "The Accidental Trainer." The book offers a solid grounding in training principles as well as preparing you for the inevitable learning bumps that you'll receive along the way. Read Accidental Trainer for a quick start and Telling Ain't Training for a more complete foundation. You'll do fine
Practical, clear, concise overview of training
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book is a great addition to my personal library. It was easy to read, yet practical and informative. Weiss provides an overview of training technology and terminology that is easy to follow and incorporate into your own training situations. I would recommend this book as a guide for all levels of trainers, and all types of trainers, computer trainers and others.
Essential handbook for anyone who teaches computer skills
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Ms. Weiss has incorporated her knowledge of adult learning theory to craft a succinctly written, straightforward manual for trainers. As a physician who teaches very resistant adults new computer skills, I found her case studies amusing, yet realistic. The book reads easily, there are wonderful illustrations and very little computerese. The chapter headings and summaries show a recusive use of the learning theories' application to the books own internal structure. No one should teach computer skills without reading this book. Upon finishing the book, I know it immediately "saved" one class I had prepared from certain ignominy.
