Planning and Design for High-Tech Web-Based Training

This volume addresses the planning and designing of a first web-based training project. Drawing on their experience with global companies in implementing web-based training (WBT), the authors show how to apply the proven framework of traditional instructional design to the unique demands of designing web-based training, with case studies from high-tech industries, and detailed discussion of the multicultural and multi-language issues that inevitably arise.
