Practical, clear, concise overview of training
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
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. Similar Products
