Match Training Tools and Learning Objectives

Overview

New technologies such as CD-ROMs, digital video, and the Internet have exploded the tool sets that are available to training and development managers. In fact, there are now so many tools available and so much pressure to employ technology-based solutions that it's hard to know which tool is the best one for one's training needs. At the same time, on-the-job training is more important than ever. Studies show that well-trained employees feel more confident in their jobs, demonstrate better time management, seek greater responsibilities, and generate innovative ideas at work. To ensure that one's work force is receiving the most effective training possible, a careful evaluation of learning objectives is essential.
