I’ve been trying to read a lot lately – books, not just blogs.
And I do find that the age-old book report is a great way to synthesize and encode all those juicy learning nuggets.
My latest review: Ruth Clark’s Evidence-Based Training Methods: A Guide for Training Professionals.
Recommendation: Thumbs Up.
I presented a webinar today and found myself quoting liberally from this book. So if that’s not a good indicator of its usefulness, I don’t know what is!
Clark effectively summarizes current learning research, covering important topics like use of audio and graphics. And bashes the learning styles myth. A lot of the material was familiar to me from having read E-Learning and the Science of Instruction and from participating in her session of the same name last fall at DevLearn (my notes are here).
