Amanda Cahir-O’Donnell & Carole Hogan: Using Technology to Deliver Learning & Development in Organisations [PDF]

USING TECHNOLOGY TO DELIVER LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT IN ORGANISATIONS provides an introduction to the use of technology to deliver L&D in organisations. The ebook begins with definitions and explanations of different technology-based training methods and the reasons for the shift to technology-based training. The authors then provide a detailed discussion of the characteristics of e Learning, massive open online courses (MOOCs), mobile learning (m Learning), gamification, computer-based simulations, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). They then discuss the characteristics and application of learning management systems (LMSs) and concludes with a discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of technology-based training.
