Michael Allen’s new eLearning Books

2 minutes

A few months ago I had the honor of talking with Michael Allen, Chairman and CEO of Allen Interactions. Michael told me about two new eLearning books that he was writing at the time. Recently Michael told me that he just published his two new books. As you can understand I am super excited!!! What I really like about Michael is that he offers free chapters from these books…

I am looking forward to purchase Michael’s new books and sharing my thoughts with the eLearning community!

Michael Allen’s 2012 e-LEARNING Annual by Michael Allen (“Don’t Get Trapped by Your e-Learning Tools” by Allan Henderson) (Update 07/18/2011 suggested by Christopher Pappas). This Annual offers a revealing discussion and debate, consisting of 27 papers from 30 authors, on the appropriate selection and implementation of technology for learning solutions. “By placing so many viewpoints together, Allen has made it possible to do the classic ‘compare and contrast’ that helps develop insights and identify possibilities and strategies that fit our particular circumstances,” explains Bill Brandon, editor of Learning Solutions Magazine for The eLearning Guild, in his book review. “The authors support all of the content with decision aids, tables, and figures that you will find useful not only for your own understanding, but also for explaining new concepts and ideas to others, including decision-makers”.

Successful e-LEARNING Interface: Making Learning Technology Polite, Effective & Fun by Michael Allen (Only Chapter 2: Introducing the CEO of LID) (Update 07/18/2011 suggested by Christopher Pappas). This book will help you use your time and resources effectively to build the best e-learning experiences possible within your constraints. As with the other books in this series, this book is geared toward pragmatic application. It’s direct and to the point: here’s how to connect with your learners, how to empower learning to make the most of e-learning’s capabilities, and how to orchestrate learning events for maximum impact: CEO—connect, empower and orchestrate.
