Recommendation

Matthew Murdoch and Treion Muller are senior online learning executives at FranklinCovey, a premier corporate training firm whose clients include many Fortune 500 companies. Their outstanding, authoritative book makes it clear that they have the chops to teach you how to organize online learning initiatives and how to plan, set up and run virtual classrooms. True to the authors’ “keep it short” philosophy, their book is concise. Mirroring their protocol for virtual learning, each chapter ends with interactive exercises. getAbstract recommends their concrete, easy-to-understand, highly enthusiastic explanation of virtual learning programs to chief learning officers, as well as to corporate education and training professionals.

Take-Aways

  • The Internet’s dramatic rise has created a “learning explosion” that follows nine rules:
  • “The Rule of Continual Change” says new technologies quickly become outdated and are replaced. College students already regard email as too slow and prefer texting.
  • “The Rule of Knowledge Transfer” states that virtual teaching requires interaction.
