Lessons in Learning, e-Learning, and Training: Perspectives and Guidance for the Enlightened Trainer » (New Edition)

Roger Schank—one of the world's leading researchers in artificial intelligence and applying cognitive learning theory to education—founded Socratic Arts, a company dedicated to helping schools and companies build meaningful curricula online. A prolific writer, Schank is the author of twenty-five books and in 2000 was recognized by ASTD for his "distinguished contributions to workplace learning."

Schank is researcher in artificial intelligence and applying cognitive learning theory to education who has taught at Stanford, Yale, Northwestern U. and Carnegie Mellon's West Coast campus over the past three decades; he now runs a private company which helps schools and companies build online curricula. In this text, he offers experienced trainers and educators in e-learning and stand- up classroom/training settings a collection of essays based on his own experiences as an educator. Written in an engaging, conversational style, the text combines stories about teaching with reflections on what those stories suggest about what can and cannot be taught, how people think and learn, and what technology can most effectively provide.
