ABOUT THE BOOK
Learning science is extremely useful, critical even. However, it exists in a much larger context for organizational learning. There are practical issues in doing what's needed when the expectations from stakeholders are more limited. That includes evaluation. Then there's going beyond courses, with performance support, community, culture, and more. While folks want to get the learning science right, they also have to negotiate the rest of these issues. Hence, this book talks about all the stuff that you need to do to create performance solutions, not just getting courses right but the rest of the practicalities as well. Written to be just what you need, and no more, this tome walks you through the elements you need to do L&D right. Published by LDA Press, an imprint of the Learning Development Accelerator.
