Product Description

Product Description
Trainers ask: "What personality types do best at e-learning; who really likes e-learning?" Better that they should ask: "How can we make e-learning more appealing to more people?" E-learning is here to stay in the same way that the Internet is here to stay. The classroom, as a mass education tool, was an invention of the industrial age and we have made good use of it. E-learning is an invention of the information age but we have yet to properly realise its potential. Some of the steam has gone out of e-learning. Organizations have experienced problems with technology, variable content, poor course take-up and even greater drop-out. The problem is that what appeals to the organization, a mass training and development medium that can be used to train everyone at once, is at odds with - or at least ignorant of - the learning needs of the individual. This title focuses on the process of e-learning, with the emphasis on learning and individual differences. With a firm rooting in previous research, in particular the author's in-depth knowledge of the MBTITM functions, this book shows you how to make e-learning work for different personality types.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for all developers of elearning, 19 Feb 2007
By K. Partner "kevpartner" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Howard Hills is an expert and it shows in this book. The real strength of this book is that it gives the elearning developer/training analyst an insight into how to design training for people of different learning types to the analyst themselves.

Since writing this book, Howard has conducted research that has shown that trainers tend to design training to suit their own learning type. This book helps us avoid that mistake and ensure that our elearning is effective and accessible to all.

If you only buy one book on the theory of elearning development, this should be it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Some good info but very poory written, 26 April 2006
By Kathryn Cassidy (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this book excruciating to read. The grammar is poor, as is the style and the book reads more a collection of related statements than a well-thought-out treatise on a topic.

There is some useful information in here on personality types and their relevance to e-Learning, if you can bear to read that far. However, it is very much 'personality types', this isn't a general book on learning styles research. Hills glosses over Kolb and Honey-Mumford learning styles research to focus on Myers-Briggs personality types and apply them to e-Learning.

If you're designing e-Learning systems then Honey-Mumford or Kolb are actually simpler to use than Myers-Briggs. If you're reseraching impact of cognitive style on e-learning you'd be better off reading Kolb
