Staff Training and Development in Open and Distance Education

I have written a small handbook on "Staff Training and Development in Open and Distance Education", which is available at IGNOU website: http://www.ignou.ac.in/institute/WebCD_Hb15/STDODE_index.htm

There are PDF links to various sections and the full handbook that you can download and use.

This handbook has been designed as a guide to personnel involved in Design, Development and Delivery (3Ds) of training programmes in distance teaching institutions. Using the numerous cases and examples in this handbook, readers should be able to organize effective training programmes at their own institution and for other institutions. At the very least, working through the various sections of this handbook will probably sensitize readers and prepare them to think positively about staff training and development in Open and Distance Education (ODE).
