The Conditions of Learning: Training Applications

Rating:
Summary: Heavy Going - But Worth It
Review: Even a casual acquaintance with instructional design results in the mention of Robert Gagné's work. Gagné established that there are different kinds of learned capabilities, and that effective instruction requires a different approach (conditions of learning) for each. This book demonstrates how Gagné's theory can be used in the workplace to make training more effective.

This brief book is packed with information - you plow through rather than sailing through. However, it is well organized, authoritative, and worth the effort.
