Description
In this book, Gilbert Paquette?an internationally recognized expertin the field of technology-based training?offers IT professionals,trainers, and consultants a revolutionary method for going beyondsimple information management. Instructional Engineering inNetworked Environments introduces the instructional engineeringmethod that elicits knowledge from subject matter experts to makeinformation more widely available for training other people andtransfering knowledge through formal and informal training using avariety of media and information sources. Throughout the book,Paquette shows that instructional engineering is based on the useof transferable graphic models that demonstrate how thisengineering works in an environment with human networks anddiversified information sources. This important book alsoincludes illustrative examples of "artifacts" ? theactual jobs aids that hold an organization's knowledge ? andprovides numerous easily reproducible tools.
Reviews / Votes
"The tools and methods developed by Dr. Paquette and his teamat LICEF since 1992 are generally regarded by the InternationalBoard of Standards for Training, Performance and Instruction(IBSTPI) as world class in every respect. The board believes thatan institution or organization embarking on serious efforts indistance and distributed learning would do well to consider thesemethods and tools as setting a standard." --J. MichaelSpector, Syracuse University; and executive vice president,IBSTPI "Gilbert Paquette's work is truly world leading andneeds much more exposure. I was so impressed with his detailedmodels for knowledge engineering in telelearning systems. It wasthe first time in years that I thought someone had created abreakthrough." --Anne Forster, director, innovation andtechnology, vice chancellor's office, University of Sydney,Australia "Hydro-Quebec groups over 19,500 employees and employs astaff of around 300 trainers and instructional designers. We havebeen using the MISA method and the MOT knowledge editor for severalyears now and we ha ve not yet found a method as efficient, eventhough we have had many sales pitches by different vendors."--Gilles Beaulieu, trans energie division, Hydro-Quebec "In this book, Professor Paquette provides one of the mostsophisticated tools yet developed for a true technology ofinstructional engineering. All serious instructional designers willfind that this work significantly improves the efficiency andeffectiveness of their instructional development efforts."--M. David Merrill, professor, department of instructionaldesign, Utah State UniversityMore details
