Synopsis:"Applies principles and concepts of popular education to evaluation?a critical piece in program development and training with adults. Using real-life case studies, the book shows how the model works in a variety of settings to help trainers evaluate adult learning."
"The Curriculum Architecture Design (CAD) process generates the overall
design for an entire T&D product line. The design is high-level
(macrolevel), systems-oriented, and modular. The design identifies • Where (within the scope of the design) training needs exist • Currently existing T&D that addresses the training needs • Gaps where no existing training addresses the training needs • Which gaps are high-priority and should be filled by new or updated training
In summary, the Curriculum Architecture Design process identifies all of the T&D that could be and then prioritizes efforts to build all of the gap T&D that should be."
