The Internet Trainer's Guide

by Diane K. Kovacs

June 13, 1995 - New York, NY--The Internet is the latest word in
information resources--for business, education, and home users alike. But
so far, nobody has had anything to say about teaching people how to use
the Internet efficiently and cost effectively.

Until Now.

Diane Kovacs, an Internet trainer with more than two decades of experience
in user training, provides a step-by-step, lesson-by-lesson guide to the
design and implementation of an Internet training course.

The Internet Trainer's Guide is packed with practical information for
anyone who has to train people how to use the Internet, Kovacs outlines
techniques to help instructors assess the baseline knowledge and skills of
their students and tailor instruction to suit their needs. She also
discusses a broad variety of teaching methods form seminars and lectures,
to hands-on--labs with detailed guidance on the time required for each
method, the anticipated instructional outcomes, and the technological
requirements.

The text also delves into the features of the Internet that today's
students want and need to learn. This includes the complete range of
Internet information resources, from e-mail and filesavers to Telnet and
Library Catalogs; and the latest search and retrieval tools, including
Archie, WAIS, and VERONICA. Kovacs also evaluates the quality,
accessibility, and cost of a wide range of Internet resources.

With a sample workbook and handouts for beginning and intermediate users,
The Internet Trainer's Guide offers the comprehensive solution that
today's Internet trainers need.
