The ASTD Distance Learning Yearbook 2001-2002

This text brings together and summarizes the state of the distance learning field, so that trainers and HR professionals can easily stay abreast of the dramatic changes taking place. For large goverment, academic and corporate institutions, these technologies are often more cost-effective than using traditional classroom training events to train students or employees spread out over a state or across the country. However, few training professionals have experience in the field of distance learning and staying current with the continuous changes and new technologies is a daunting task. This text contains a selection of "the best of the best" articles from leading publications, including "The Journal of Distance Learning" "Training Magazine", "Training and Development" and the "Multi-media Training Newsletter".
