HOW CAN E-LEARNERS BE PREPARED for self-directed learning, which is a term for directing and managing their own learning?

From the rear cover

Designed for anyone charged with making e-learning really work, Preparing Learners for e-Learning presents a variety of methods business organizations and educational institutions can use to prepare their learners to become successful e-learners. This first-of-its-kind book helps trainers, designers, and educators understand the importance of enhancing self-directedness in learners as they prepare for e-learning and the various learning theories that can be used for this purpose. It then guides e-learning professionals through the process of creating interventions-- specific to their own individual situations-- that will assist their learners in preparing for the move to an e-learning environment.

"Finally, it's here! Piskurich et al. provide us with much-needed perspectives on self-directed learning that can only improve the manner e-learning is embraced and delivered to fulfill its potential."
-- Peter Beckschi, associate director, Training, Novartis Pharmaceuticals

"Preparing Learners for e-Learning is a unique and useful guide for preparing learners to enter the brave new world of e-learning3/4and benefit from it."
-- Lynn Summers, vice president, research, Performaworks, Incorporated

"Organizations are investing tremendous amounts of resources into e-learning now yet failing to leverage these investments. If e-learners aren't adequately prepared, most e-learning will flop. This book is critical to advancing our understanding of how to prepare e-learners and belongs on the bookshelf of every online course designer, trainer, and administrator."
-- Joe Willmore, Willmore Consulting Group
