Making the Training Process Work
“Michalak and Yager have done it again. Their detailed explanation of the training process is practical and fills the gap between the theories and what effective trainers actually do. It’s a great resource for the novice and experienced trainer alike.” Ron Kregoski, President Kregoski Associates, Brighton, MI “A lot of books on training promise the world, but few provide practical, step-by-step answers to training challenges that professionals deal with everyday. I am excited about this valuable resource. So much so, had I the power, I would see that a copy of this book was included in every college HR student’s and training professional’s library. This book will teach every training professional, regardless of their level of expertise, something they didn’t know or help them design a training process that will add to the crucial bottom-line.” Wanda J. Smith, Ph.D., Professor of Human Resource Management Virginia Tech University, Blacksburg, VA Senior Partner, H & S Enterprises “Clear, concise, and to the point. Michalak and Yager go beyond the “fad” approach to training and instead address larger organizational and management issues. Must-reading for the trainer, manager, and consultant.” Calvin Sun, President Technology Horizons, Paoli, PA
Training and Development in Organizations
Training and Development in Organizations introduces students to the field of training and development, showcasing how the role and function of training within an organization supports the organization’s efforts at fulfilling its mission. Focusing on six themes – strategic view; training paradigm; training model; types of training; rubrics; and andragogy, a theory focused specifically on the adult learner – the author offers an applied approach to designing and implementing a training program. Readers will learn about different types of training programs, ranging from simple to complex, while a model program design demonstrates the critical elements associated with designing a program, such as subjects, time frame, learning objectives, and more. Practical exercises and thought-provoking end of chapter questions help students learn how to apply the concepts successfully, while Chapter Twelve specifically includes a variety of practical exercises for use in application-oriented assignments. Undergraduate students of human resource management, and training and development, as well as business managers seeking to develop their training knowledge, will appreciate this commonsense treatment of the subject.
Advances in Usability, User Experience, Wearable and Assistive Technology
This book addresses emerging issues in usability, interface design, human–computer interaction, user experience and assistive technology. It highlights research aimed at understanding human interactions with products, services and systems and focuses on finding effective approaches for improving the user experience. It also discusses key issues in designing and providing assistive devices and services for individuals with disabilities or impairment, offering them support with mobility, communication, positioning, environmental control and daily living. The book covers modeling as well as innovative design concepts, with a special emphasis on user-centered design, and design for specific populations, particularly the elderly. Further topics include virtual reality, digital environments, gaming, heuristic evaluation and forms of device interface feedback (e.g. visual and haptic). Based on the AHFE 2021 Conferences on Usability and User Experience, Human Factors and Wearable Technologies, Human Factors in Virtual Environments and Game Design, and Human Factors and Assistive Technology, held virtually on 25–29 July, 2021, from USA, this book provides academics and professionals with an extensive source of information and a timely guide to tools, applications and future challenges in these fields.
