Skill Acquisition and Training - Achieving Expertise in Simple and Complex Tasks

A focus on skills, especially for college-based programs, will be of growing importance. As we move towards more modular, stackable designs and competency- and capability-based assessment, the development of skills and the building of capacities will become the "new black" for instructional designers. Everyone will want to know how to create learning experiences which promote and develop mastery and how skills can be assessed.

This practical, well written book will help in this work. While strongly focused on training, the book can quickly be translated into college setting.
