Implementing and Delivering Classroom-based Learning & Development in Organisations [PDF ebook] 
(Learning & Development in Organisations series #9)

IMPLEMENTING AND DELIVERING CLASSROOM-BASED LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT IN ORGANISATIONS describes, discusses and evaluates the issues around the implementation and delivery of L&D in organisations. The ebook initially discusses the differences between instruction and facilitation and the skills that are required of L&D professionals in each context. The authors then provide a detailed discussion of the role of learning theory in the context of the delivery of training, looking at pre-training, during training and post-training. They also discuss the decisions that need to be made to develop lesson plans and the skills involved in delivering training through both facilitation and instruction approaches. The latter parts of the ebook consider the creation of a positive training environment and the challenges encountered in both facilitation and instruction.
