The all-time bestselling training handbook, updated for new
technologies and roles

Active Training turns instructional design on its head by
shifting the emphasis away from the instructor, and on to the
learner. Comprehensively updated to reflect the many developments
in the field, this new fourth edition covers the latest
technologies and applications, the evolving role of the trainer,
and how new business realities impact training, advancing new
evidence-based best practices for new trainer tasks, skills, and
knowledge. Up to date theory and research inform the practical tips
and techniques that fully engage learners and help them get the
most out of sessions, while updated workplace examples and revised
templates and worksheets help bring these techniques into the
classroom quickly. You'll gain insight into improving training
evaluation by using Return on Expectations (ROE), learn how to
extend the value of training programs through transfer of learning,
and develop fresh, engaging methods that incorporate
state-of-the-art applications.
