DescriptionLifelong learning can occur both in and out of the classroom, but the most valuable instruction takes place on the job. Remote Workforce Training: Effective Technologies and Strategies investigates methods, techniques, and systems used in employee training programs. The tools and technologies surveyed within these pages will help employers take their workers beyond the transient skill sets offered by university degrees and into a constant state of learning and practice that will enhance both their productivity and technical abilities on a regular basis. In particular, the knowledge offered by this reference book will be of use to educators and students as well as managers, leaders, administrators, and personnel.
Reviews and Testimonials
In 13 chapters, business, workforce development, technology, education, and other researchers from the US, Asia, Turkey, and Australia explore the design strategies and methodologies for distributed workforce training, with a focus on information and communication technologies. They discuss the conceptual and applied strategic frameworks used in remote workforce training, such as open systems, badging and open badging, gamification and 3D, and learning-support managers, as well as the strategic advantages of e-learning, approaches that encourage occupational satisfaction, trainee reactions, learning perception, and training transfer, and the design of online policy compliance training in higher education. They present examples of training in different contexts, such as for trainers, teachers, and police; analytical tools that can be used to analyze remote team dynamics, such as social network diagrams, the use of Maltego Radium to understand stranger small world networks online, and tools used to gather open-source intelligence to profile entities in public electronic spaces; and innovations like an open training community and massive open online courses (MOOCs).
