商品簡介
Although distance learning and training (DLT)--defined broadly by the editors (professors of psychology and cognitive sciences at the U. of Central Florida) so as to include any type of organizational learning using network or digital tools, distance learning in academia, and distributed training in the military--has been widely adopted in many organizational contexts, there has to date been little work investigating fundamental scientific issues of learning within the context of DLT. The editors present 11 papers as a step towards charting the outlines of a science of distributed learning. The papers address current theoretical models of distributed learning, examine the growing field of team cognition and associated training concepts, and describe experimental and theoretical work on cognitive processes and products within DLT. A final chapter address federal science funding issues of DLT and future directions. Annotation c2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
