Use of Asynchronous Discussions for Corporate Training: A Case Study
Czeropski, Sue
Performance Improvement, v51 n9 p14-21 Oct 2012
In this knowledge-based economy, corporations invest millions of dollars in training and expect a return on that investment; similarly, employees have a vested interest in wanting to further their knowledge and their ability to contribute. The types of e-learning strategies and instructional methods being employed elude the use of asynchronous discussions as a viable instructional method. This article summarizes a case study in which asychronous discussions were used as an instructional strategy in two training interventions. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)
