    عند تعيين موظف جديد أو تشجيع شخص ما من الداخل ، ومعظم المنظمات نبحث عن الخبرة المناسبة للموقف والمسؤوليات. على الرغم من المهارات هي جزء مهم من المتطلبات ، وغالبا ما تواجه ينسخ المهارات لأنه من الضروري أن يكون المرشح قادرا على الاستفادة من هذه المهارات في سياق تطبيق كل من الخبرة والتفكير النقدي لهذه الحالة.
    المنظمات عادة استخدام استراتيجيات التدريب لتحسين الأداء التي تم إنشاؤها على تقنيات التصميم التعليمي. عندما يكون مطلوبا الخبرات والقضايا الظرفية ، وتتطلب بالتالي الحس النقدي للتصدي بشكل فعال ، والتعليم ليس كافيا. في هذه الورشة ، وسوف تثبت للمتكلم منهجية لالتقاط ونشر في نهاية المطاف المحاكاة التي تترجم خبرة معينة في طرائق التعلم التي تشرك المتعلم ومساعدتهم على تطبيق تجربة محاكاة لمواقف الحياة الحقيقية. ونتيجة لهذا النهج هو أن المحاكاة ، والفكر من مرة واحدة غير واقعي ، وذلك لأن التكلفة والوقت ، يمكن أن تصبح جزءا أساسيا من أي محفظة منظمات التعلم بطريقة عملية جدا.

    In today’s economy, budgets are shrinking and yet expectations from training programs keep increasing. The classic - ‘Do More with Less!’. While that’s easier said than done, it’s certainly not impossible. Using tools makes the job easy. However in a market flooded with interactive course creation tools, deciding which tools will best serve your needs and hence prove to be the best use of your budget can be rather confusing.

  • Webinar: The Role of Religion and Ethnicity in Modern Afghanistan

  • Nov 2, 2011 from 4:30pm to 5:30pm
  • Location: Online
  • Description:

    The United States has been engaged in military operations in Afghanistan for the past decade, yet most Americans know very little about the country's complex history and culture, and only 12% of students in the U.S. can locate Afghanistan on a map. This timely webinar series elaborates on three themes drawn from Homeland Afghanistan, an online resource created by the Asia Society that explores the geopolitical and cultural heritage of Afghanistan through 75 vibrant and information-packed documentary videos. Each webinar will feature a dynamic presentation by a noted scholar, an interactive question and answer session, and a bibliography that includes classroom-ready resources. Attend one, two, or all three of the webinars to enhance your knowledge of Afghanistan and gain deeper insight into Afghanistan's rich political, religious, and artistic traditions.

    This webinar is the second in a series of three.
