The Training Doctor Offers Training for Subject Matter Experts

Subject matter experts are being used more and more to design and deliver training, yet few know what good learning design and delivery looks like.

2011-01-13

BRISTOL, CT, January 13, 2011 (Press-News.org) More and more companies are seeking out training for their subject matter experts who have been tasked with designing and delivering training. While subject matter expertise makes them valuable sources of knowledge, not everyone is able to transmit that knowledge to others.

The Training Doctor provides a 4-week online training curriculum, specifically geared to the needs of subject matter experts, to teach good training design practices. Organizations which have taken advantage of the training include construction, pharmaceuticals, software and professional associations.

The course, titled ISD for the SME, teaches subject matter experts to analyze what learners really need to know vs. what the subject matter expert feels he/she should teach, how to organize content so that learners not only learn during the training program but also have a resource after the training, and the importance of designing quality learning materials including participant guides, visuals, and leader's guides. For more information about the curriculum, visit us online.

Many organizations send entire teams of subject matter experts through the training at one time in preparation for training design and roll-outs which will affect the whole organization.

The Training Doctor, LLC is a custom instructional design firm with over 20 years experience in designing workplace training that works. For more information visit www.trainingdr.com or call 800-282-5474.

Longevity unlikely to have aided early modern humans

2011-01-12

Life expectancy was probably the same for early modern and late archaic humans and did not factor in the extinction of Neanderthals, suggests a new study by a Washington University in St. Louis anthropologist. Erik Trinkaus, PhD, Professor of Anthropology in Arts & Sciences, examined the fossil record to assess adult mortality for both groups, which co-existed in different regions for roughly 150,000 years. Trinkaus found that the proportions of 20 to 40-year-old adults versus adults older than 40, were about the same for early modern humans and Neandertals. This similar ...

Played by humans, scored by nature, online game helps unravel secrets of RNA

2011-01-12

PITTSBURGH—Many video games boast life-like graphics and realistic game play, but have no connection with reality. A new online game developed by Carnegie Mellon University and Stanford University researchers, however, finally shatters the virtual wall. The game, called EteRNA (http://eterna.cmu.edu) harnesses game play to uncover principles for designing molecules of RNA, which biologists believe may be the key regulator of everything that happens in living cells. But the game doesn't end with the highest computer score. Rather, players are scored and ranked based on ...

Singapore scientists discover a possible off-switch for anxiety

2011-01-12

Scientists from the Agency of Science, Technology and Research/Duke-NUS Neuroscience Research Partnership (A*STAR/Duke-NUS NRP), A*STAR's Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, and the National University of Singapore have made a breakthrough concerning how anxiety is regulated in the vertebrate brain. Their work, published in the journal Current Biology, sheds light on how the brain normally shuts off anxiety and also establishes the relevance of zebrafish as a model for human psychiatric disorders. The team of scientists, led by Dr Suresh Jesuthasan from the A*STAR/Duke-NUS ...

These findings from a study funded by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and coordinated by EpiConcept, Paris, France, published in this week's PLoS Medicine, give an indication of the vaccine effectiveness for the influenza A (H1N1) 2009 strain included in the 2010-11 seasonal vaccines. The authors conducted ...

The top one-third of the ranked research investment options was dominated by delivery and implementation research, whilst discovery (basic science) questions were not ranked highly, especially for expected reduction of mortality and inequity ...

The researchers also found that the addition of biofeedback and pelvic floor electrical stimulation provided no additional benefit. "Men in the United States have a 1 in 6 lifetime prevalence of prostate cancer. Although survival ...
