"An accessible book written specifically for non-technical people" -- Business Horizons September/October 2002

Product Description
Today's trainers must know about WBT (Web-based training) if they want to keep up in their industry. With CREATING WEB-BASED TRAINING, they don't have to be programmers to create and use WBT. Step-by-step instructions show readers how to create simple yet effective WBT projects without hiring a multimedia development team. Clearly written with a minimum of jargon, the book explains it all:



* Web design basics--where to get easy-to-use Web-authoring software and how to use it; authoring text; adding color, images, links, navigation, audio, video, and embedded programming; and posting WBT pages on the Web or an intranet.
* Training--designing WBT for specific training objectives; using interactivity effectively; choosing and producing media; and estimating cost factors.

The book includes a CD with WBT samples and templates, which make it easy for trainers and educators to get started--on the Web!

Reader Reviews
If you are an educator looking for a book on Instructional Design for WBT, or a book on principles of design of Web-based training that appears to be informed by actual use of an authoring tool, look elsewhere. This is a very basic ("What is a Web page?") book for an audience that is not particularly Net-savvy.
