It seems that everyone in the 1400s believed the earth was flat. That’s why Columbus had such a hard time raising money and sailors to attempt a circumnavigation of the globe. Was it religion, general ignorance of science, an inclination to follow the crowd? What was it then… and what is it now that makes [...]

I’m talking about performance based equipment training objectives. I’ve actually written a ten page white paper on this. A lot of people find PBET objectives tedious, so the last thing they want to hear is any suggestion that they create even more objectives. So why am I even writing about it? Because it can help solve a [...] I am posting this for those who do not receive email from matec networks (maybe you should!) Join Us for this FREE Webinar: Learning Objects: What are they? How do I use them? Date: This Thursday, June 18, 2009 10:00 a.m. PDT Description: Terry Bartelt of Fox Valley Technical College will answer the question, “What are [...] There are a variety of ways to look at personality traits.

But what is competence? Performance-based training defines competence as meeting the requirements of the performance objective. But for competence to result from practice, at least three things must be true: The conditions of the practice must realistically reflect the [...] The use of job aids can be a substitute for training or a supplement to training; that is, they can often replace the need for training or they can make training easier and faster. It all depends on the original analysis, but the use of job aids can save money. Job aids include equipment manuals, color-coding [...] Over the years of teaching the PBET Workshop, I have met over 1600 fantastic people from this industry. Yet today, I find it difficult to contact very many of them. People leave the places they have been working for many reasons: in the past- a better job offer; today- the recession. Yet typically, all I [...] What do you use to guide your decision-making when designing your courses? Are you swept away by the latest fads?
