Praise for Designing Web--Based Training "Horton has done it again! He's addressed the cutting--edge problem of Web--based training design with his pragmatic, research--based approach. His work is task--oriented and down--to--earth. He doesn't waste our time with excessive educational philosophy. In short--comprehensive overview, practical advice, engaging presentation."--Robert E.;Horn, Author, Visual Language: Global Communication for the 21st Century "As each new media wave is adopted for instructional pur--poses, there is a lag in effective exploitation of the unique features the medium brings for supporting learning. Designing Web--Based Training bridges the gap by providing a rich and detailed reference."--Ruth Clark, EdD, President, Clark Training & Consulting "Designers have been seeking guidance on how to exploit the Web's distribution potential while combining it with powerful instructional programs. Horton provides structure, stimulation, and substance in this important book. Web--based training is definitely what is happening now.
