Book Description

Today's trainers must know about WBT (Web-based training) if they want to keep up in their industry. With CREATING WEB-BASED TRAINING, they don't have to be programmers to create and use WBT. Step-by-step instructions show readers how to create simple yet effective WBT projects without hiring a multimedia development team. Clearly written with a minimum of jargon, the book explains it all:

* Web design basics--where to get easy-to-use Web-authoring software and how to use it; authoring text; adding color, images, links, navigation, audio, video, and embedded programming; and posting WBT pages on the Web or an intranet.
* Training--designing WBT for specific training objectives; using interactivity effectively; choosing and producing media; and estimating cost factors.

The book includes a CD with WBT samples and templates, which make it easy for trainers and educators to get started--on the Web!

Customer Reviews:

For beginners only.......2002-04-29

If you are an educator looking for a book on Instructional Design for WBT, or a book on principles of design of Web-based training that appears to be informed by actual use of an authoring tool, look elsewhere.

This is a very basic ("What is a Web page?") book for an audience that is not particularly Net-savvy.

good practical book.......2002-02-08

Unlike other web-based training books, which tend to be online theory with a catalog tour of high gloss corporate show pieces done by diverse media teams, this is a practical "how-to" book. Read it, and assuming you have background in teaching or training, you too can create web-based training. The book doesn't pretend to be a encylopedia of educational theory and techniques. It simply provides you with Web development techniques relevant to education and leaves the educating and training up to you. In a new field that's long on speculative theory and short on practical results, this is a long overdue book.

Not the definitive guide to online learning.......2002-01-08

The one good thing that I can say about this book is that it is easy to read--my boyfriend with ADD wouldn't have a problem with it. It's brevity on each subject is great for those who can't stand lengthy prose, but at the same time if you know nothing of the subject, then you're out of luck.

I attempted to complete the tutorial for the SMIL project and just couldn't seem to get anything to work. The CD doesn't include any asset files to work with, so you're left to piece together the items you need to get through the lesson.

Web based training is a powerful tool and when developing programs, it's important to keep two things in mind: technological and pedagogical issues. Leaning one way is dangerous in that it lessens the overall value of online learning. This book doesn't mention the important issues of learning styles which is equally important in designing effective e-learning as the title suggests.

If you are looking for a good book for e-learning, try Designing Web-based Training by the all-knowing William Horton. I have no vested interest other than I'm a savvy consumer and I don't value the wasting of time and money.

Book Description

Over the past century American agriculture has shifted dramatically with small, commercial farms finding it increasingly difficult to compete with large-scale (mostly indoor) animal feeding operations (AFOs). In this book, Terence J. Centner investigates the environmental, social, economic, and political impact of the rise of the so-called factory farm, exposing the ramifications of the contemporary trend toward industrial-scale food production.

Just as Rachel Carson's landmark Silent Spring used the disappearance of songbirds as a jumping-off point for a work that raised public awareness of pesticides' devastating environmental impact, Empty Pastures sees the dwindling numbers of livestock in the American countryside as a symptom of a broader transformation, one with serious consequences for the rural landscape and its inhabitants--animal as well as human.

After outlining the rise of the AFO, Centner examines the troubling consequences of consolidation in animal farming and suggests a number of remedies. The issues he tackles include groundwater contamination, the loss of biodiversity, animal welfare, concentrated odors and other nuisances, soil erosion, and the economic effects of the disappearance of the small family farm.

Inspired by largely abandoned traditional practices rather than a radical and unrealistic vision of a return to an idealized past, Centner proposes a series of pragmatic reforms for regulating factory farms to halt ecological degradation and revitalize rural communities.

A must-read for every believer who talks to other people.......2007-09-06

NOTE: This is a preliminary review, as I'm still making my way through the rest of the book. But I was so arrested by what I read in the first four chapters that I "needed" to post a review immediately.

In "War of Words: Getting to the Heart of Your Communication Struggles," Paul Tripp lays a foundation for getting to the heart of a believer's communication struggles. The first four chapters define the problem, outline some other solutions both the world and the Church have tried, and then explains why they haven't worked:

"Word problems are always related to heart problems. That's why we will not solve communication problems by dealing only with our words, any more than we would solve a problem with a plant's fruit production by dealing only with the fruit." (p. 55)

The foundational issue with our sinful communication, then, is idolatry. In our hearts, we have replaced God with someone or something we are willing to sinfully worship, and for which we are willing to sinfully demand our own way.

If that's the foundational problem, the foundational solution is to see with new eyes the truth of God's sovereignty. [...To be continued]

Biblical, Gospel-centered Book.......2006-06-21

Christian books that deal with practical application issues are often little different than secular self-help books. Do this. Don't do that. Here's a five-step plan for success. No so with Paul David Tripp's War of Words. This book takes a Christ-centered, gospel approach to considering the issue of communication. He deals with matters of the heart and asserts the only hope for heart change lies with God and the gospel of grace.

Tripp encourages Christians to remember that we are ambassadors of God. To every situation to which we bring our words, we are to bring them in accordance with the goal the One we represent has when He deals with people, that is redemption. That redemption is not just in the sense of judicial forgiveness for sin, but in the Spirit's day-to-day work in the life of a Christian to conform him or her more and more to the image of Christ. Rather than center our efforts on controlling others, punishing them for hurting us or making them do as we wish, Tripp encourages us to die to our own fleshly passions and consider how we can best be used redemptively by God in that person's life.

As Tripp guides the reader through how to think about our words, his advice is entirely Bible-based. It is not what Paul Tripp has found works for him, but rather what the Apostle Paul, and King Solomon, and the Apostle Peter wrote as divinely-inspired instruction.

I skimmed through this book before I read it. I encountered so many antecdotes that involved explosions of hot tempers, that I was tempted to think I didn't need this book. After all, I'm a mild-tempered member of a mild-tempered family. I was humbled as I read it, though, because it goes so much deeper than that and holds up a standard that even the most mature, self-controlled Christian does not keep. Certainly I don't! Yet, Tripp offers the hope and encouragement that comes from a right understanding of the grace and promises of God.

The writing is clear and engaging. The anecdotes are helpful in illustrating his points, helping Tripp to achieve and almost perfect balance of the theoretical and the practical.

I was going to say that every pastor and elder ought to read this book. Then I thought, well, fathers, too. And mothers. Teachers, of course. And managers and employees. This book is for all of us.

"No matter where you live, no matter what you do every day, there is one thing that you do all day long. You talk." (3) So begins this insightful and practical book on our communication struggles. What sets this book apart from others on the same topic is its profound depth in addressing the issues of our words. "Our communication struggle is not primarily a struggle of technique, but a struggle of the heart" (30). Tripp doesn't settle for superficial treatment. He understands that the war of words is really part of a deeper war: the war for our hearts and souls, the war between the Word made flesh, and the enemy, whose primary tools are words of distortion, deception, and destruction.

War of Words is divided into three sections. Part One: "Talk is Not Cheap" provides the theological and biblical orientation from which the entire book speaks. Tripp begins by reminding us that "God Speaks" (chapter one). "He is the Great Speaker" (15); and He has spoken most fully through Jesus Christ, "the Word who is the only hope for our words" (5). God can be known because He speaks. And we are made in His image with the ability to speak ourselves. Our words have value, because God has given them value.

But not only does God speak, "Satan Speaks" (chapter two). Paradise was lost because Satan used words to challenge the authority of God and offer an interpretation on life that was different from God's. Lies were spoken. Words were misused. And "for the first time, people spoke against one another" (23). Now, there is "trouble with our talk" (29). In fact, "nowhere is our weakness more dramatically revealed than in our struggle with words" (31).

Into the helplessness and hopelessness of our sin, God, the Great Speaker addresses us with the greatest message of all: "The Word in the Flesh" (chapter three). The gospel of Christ addresses our fallen lives and our muddled speech. God doesn't demand that we change in our own strength. No, He sends redemption through the Living Word who becomes the ultimate model for our speech as well. Our words are meant to redeem. But our words can be redemptive only when our "idol words" (chapter four) are addressed. We must see that our speech problems are fruit growing out of the deeper root of a sinful and idolatrous heart.

Right from the beginning, Tripp summarizes the "four fundamental, life-altering principles" upon which this book is based are:

* God has a wonderful plan for our words that is far better than any plan we could come up with on our own.
* Sin has radically altered our agenda for our words, resulting in much hurt, confusion, and chaos.
* In Christ Jesus we find the grace that provides all we need to speak as God intended us to speak.
* The Bible plainly and simply teaches us how to get from where we are to where God wants us to be. (5)

In other words, the foundation for God-honoring speech is nothing less than the gospel itself, as understood within the framework of words.

Part Two lays out "A New Agenda for Our Talk." This begins with an understanding of God's sovereignty. "He is King!" (chapter five). God's sovereignty is "the cornerstone for a new agenda for our words" (70). When I truly lay hold of the truth that God is in control, exercising "unchallenged rule" in the universe (71) for His glory and my good, I can be free from trying to control and manipulate others with my words. Tripp goes on to show that we must embrace the agenda of the King (chapter six) if we are to speak for Him (chapter seven). We can only be His ambassadors when we speak out of a clear understanding of the King's mission and methods (111-122).

Chapter eight turns a corner from theological foundation to practical application, as Tripp outlines eleven "practical steps to the destination" of using our words as God desires. Because we are "citizens in need of help" (chapter nine), confrontation is a necessary part of our speech. But confrontation is scary because it so often goes wrong. We need help in doing confrontation biblically, with the humility of the gospel, recognizing that we are both helpers to others and also in need of help ourselves.

Chapter ten, "On the King's Mission" sharpens the focus on God's redemptive purpose for our words. Tripp reminds us that "we are not free to handle difficulties in whatever way seems best to us. When we are wronged, the thing of highest importance is not that we feel satisfied or avenged, but that we respond according to God's plan and for his glory" (164). The Great Commission lays claim on our everyday talk. Every word we speak is meant to carry out the redemptive purposes of God in Christ.

Finally, Part Three discusses "Winning the War of Words." Tripp's practical theology is at its best here, as he reminds us to put "First Things First" (chapter eleven) in our speech by embracing the gospel in a lifestyle of repentance. Four steps of true repentance (consideration, confession, commitment, and change) are discussed, drawing heavily on Colossians 3:12-17 and 2 Peter 1:3-9. Chapter twelve clarifies the win with an exposition of Galatians 5:13-6:2. Winning the war of words "involves recognizing the destructive power of words (5:15) . . . affirming our freedom in Christ (5:13) . . . saying no to the sinful nature (5:13, 24) . . . speaking to serve others in love (5:13-14) . . . speaking `in step with the Spirit' (5:25) . . . [and] speaking with a goal to restore (6:1-2)" (201-216).

Chapter thirteen, "Choosing Your Words," continues the expositional style of application by exhorting us to choose the right words: words of truth (Eph. 4:14-15), words of love (1 Cor. 13:4-7), words of restraint (Eph. 4:25-27), words of grace (Eph. 4:29-30), and words of forgiveness (Eph. 4:32-5:2). Only when we choose these redemptive kinds of words will the tongue be a tool for good, rather than a world of evil.

This is a powerful book which helped me personally and pastorally. The blend of biblical exposition and practical exhortation, theology and practicality, is masterful. Each section builds on the sturdy explanation of biblical texts, while including practical "how to" application, with frequent real-life examples of both redemptive and destructive speech. Every chapter ends with a "Getting Personal" list of questions for personal examination of one's own heart and life. And Tripp frequently speaks from his own failures, flavoring this book with humility and authenticity. This is a wonderful book that should serve pastors, counselors, lay-leaders, parents, and spouses well, as they struggle to win the war of words.

This book has been a most convicting and yet hopeful book for my Bible study group... one of the most practical and fundamental ways to really put into practice what I say I believe as a Christian!

I love this book! We are currently using it in our Sunday school class as a Family counseling class. It is more geared towards married couples. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to "shape up" their communication skills!
