"Telling Ain't Training" should be a foundation reference guide for anyone responsible for helping people to learn. But unlike many dull,
plodding 'foundation references' "Telling Ain't Training" is a joy, to read, re-read, review and refer to.
Harold Stolovitch and Erica Keeps have turned complex learning theory and research and made it not only understandable and usable, but also interesting and intriguing. They offer practical methods, guidelines and techniques not by telling us, but by drawing us into our own learning with enjoyable activities and lively writing. And most important, they invite and inspire readers to apply what they talk about - I frequently caught myself thinking of ways I coulda', woulda', shoulda' (and now will) use their ideas to improve learning.
For students new to training, "Telling Ain't Training" is a Masters of Instructional Design in soft copy. For those who have developed training based solely on instinct, it's a confirmation of your good, but uncommon sense and a clear guide for getting rid of bad habits. And for the experienced veteran of training design, development and delivery "Telling Ain't Training" is ample affirmation that doing training right does make a difference. (From quoting a customer reviewer, USA)

From publisher
This book is an entertaining and practical guide for every trainer and performance improvement professional as it tackles the three universal and persistent questions of the profession--how do learners learn, why do learners learn, and how do you ensure that learning sticks. This interactive book with it fun and breezy style illustrate the authors' point of view that learning should be active and enjoyable. Playful illustrations demonstrate the solid research that back up the authors' contentions and help readers separate learning myth from fact to dispel beliefs and practices that often harm the instructional process.
