Title: A Great Tool for Trainers, Teachers and Learners!
Review: The book makes an excellent text for a train the trainer course, but more importantly, will provide each new trainer with a toolkit that they'll use over and over again. I especially like the author's advice to 'lecture as a last resort'!The contents are also easily adaptable for use in undergraduate and graduate courses, and I suspect that many secondary educators could rekindle the love of learning in their classrooms by employing some of the design strategies in their classrooms as well!The book is very effectively 'chunked' with three main parts:How People LearnHow Successful Learning is DeliveredHow Successful Learning Events Are BuiltRussell's work is accessible, interesting and very hands on. The appendix is also filled with opens, interpersonal, intrapersonal and review exercises and a large resource list and the book also contains a CD with music that can be used as part of your training event as well as future events.
