Martha Alles nos presenta, en esta nueva obra, un enfoque completo del tema formación, que combina las últimas tendencias desde el punto de vista organizacional y contempla una nueva realidad: las características de inmediatez y pragmatismo de las nuevas generaciones, millennials y centennials, que inciden en los procesos formativos. El libro concibe la función de formación alineada con la estrategia de la organización. Como dice su autora, la formación y los distintos aspectos de la disciplina Recursos Humanos se deben analizar y diseñar en función de lo que vendrá, tanto en materia de conocimientos como competencias, para poder alcanzar los planes estratégicos. Entre otras cuestiones, en la obra se expone cómo realizar un plan de formación efectivo, mediante un modelo organizacional de formación, junto con la mejor forma de diseñar actividades formativas –a través del método de Codesarrollo–. También se trata la universidad corporativa como un camino posible, y las diferentes formas de medir la formación. Como es habitual en los libros de Martha Alles, se incluye un recurso gratuito para profesores que utilicen esta obra como soporte de sus clases: el acceso a material complementario on line a través de la Sala de Profesores.Juntamente con este libro, Ediciones Granica está publicando Formación. En la práctica, complementario de la obra que el lector tiene en sus manos, y que aporta una mirada adicional sobre diversos temas que preocupan a todos los involucrados en la temática de formación. Formación, capacitación, desarrollo es una obra destinada a un amplio espectro de interesados: la máxima conducción, los especialistas en Recursos Humanos que se desempeñan internamente y como consultores externos, y –en el ámbito académico– tanto a profesores como alumnos.

A lo largo de este tiempo, si bien los conceptos básicos de un proceso de selección no han cambiado, sí lo han hecho algunos de sus aspectos, especialmente por los avances tecnológicos y, particularmente, por la irrupciónde las redes sociales. Los social media han modificado tanto los comportamientos de las personascomo los métodos de trabajo utilizados por las organizaciones en materia de reclutamiento (reclutamiento 2.0, headhunting2.0, entre otros).

This volume features the complete text of all regular papers, posters, and summaries of symposia presented at the 16th annual meeting of the Cognitive Science Society.

Talk about Writing: The Tutoring Strategies of Experienced Writing Center Tutors offers a book-length empirical study of the discourse between experienced tutors and student writers in satisfactory conferences. It analyzes writing center talk, focusing on tutors'verbal strategies, at the macro- and microlevels. The study details tutors'use of three categories of tutoring strategies—instruction, cognitive scaffolding, and motivational scaffolding—with each chapter of the analysis ending in practical advice about tutor training.The second edition adds to the discussion of research provided in the first edition, maintaining the two previous goals: to provide a theory-based coding scheme for analyzing tutoring strategies according to their potential for instructing and scaffolding student writers'learning, and to demonstrate that analysis on 10 satisfactory conferences conducted by experienced writing center tutors. New to this edition, the authors expand the previous discussion of the coding scheme with additional details about its development. Along with the expanded Chapter 3 about research methods, this edition features new examples from the corpus of conferences and updates the literature review.

Talk about Writing: The Tutoring Strategies of Experienced Writing Center Tutors offers a book-length empirical study of the discourse between experienced tutors and student writers in satisfactory conferences. The study uses a research-driven, iteratively tested framework to help writing center directors, tutors, writing program administrators, rhetoric and composition researchers, first-year composition instructors, and others interested in talk about writing to systematically analyze tutors'talk and to use that analysis to train new tutors. The book strives toward two main goals: to provide an analytical research and assessment tool—the coding scheme—that other researchers can use to understand writing center tutor talk and to provide a close, empirical analysis of experienced tutor talk that can facilitate tutor training. The study details tutors'use of three categories of tutoring strategies—instruction, cognitive scaffolding, and motivational scaffolding—at macro- and microlevels and results in practical recommendations for improving tutor training.

In recent years, building a corporate online presence has become nonnegotiable for businesses, as consumers expect to connect with them in as many ways as possible. There are benefits to companies that use online technology, but there are risks as well. Managing Online Risk presents the tools and resources needed to better understand the security and reputational risks of online and digital activity, and how to mitigate those risks to minimize potential losses. Managing Online Risk highlights security and risk management best practices that address concerns such as data collection and storage, liability, recruitment, employee communications, compliance violations, security of devices (in contexts like mobile, apps, and cloud computing), and more. Additionally, this book offers a companion website that was developed in parallel with the book and includes the latest updates and resources for topics covered in the book. - Explores the risks associated with online and digital activity and covers the latest technologies, such as social media and mobile devices - Includes interviews with risk management experts and company executives, case studies, checklists, and policy samples - A website with related content and updates (including video) is also available

In the not-too-distant past, students were expected to turn in only handwritten or typed papers. However, with today's ease of access to the Internet and free applications, teachers are now expecting students to go beyond the confines of text-only productions. Various online programs make it possible to create multi-layered term papers that are rich in images, audio, and even video. And most of these tools are free to use! Students can now access their work from nearly anywhere that has an Internet connection. In the case of collaborative research projects, this same technology allows team members to work with each other even when they are in different locations. A wide variety of online and offline tools, techniques, and tips to help students research, write, edit, prepare, and present term papers are discussed and explained here. This revelatory guidebook to the latest in term paper technology also supports Common Core Standards for the reading of technical accounts and texts.

Social network-based information sharing can go way beyond the sharing of vacation photos and status updates. As discussed here, students can use the technology to share their research and ideas during group projects. They can become more aware of important town decisions and local volunteer opportunities. With a cell phone camera, they can put themselves at the frontlines of citizen journalism. They can join national and international discussions of issues that matter most to them. This is their guide to some of the many tantalizing options and opportunities there are to expand the parameters of their world. This supports Common Core standards for the reading of technical texts and accounts.

This edited volume provides an overview of the latest advancements in adaptive training technology. Intelligent tutoring has been deployed for well-defined and relatively static educational domains such as algebra and geometry. However, this adaptive approach to computer-based training has yet to come into wider usage for domains that are less well defined or where student-system interactions are less structured, such as during scenario-based simulation and immersive serious games. In order to address how to expand the reach of adaptive training technology to these domains, leading experts in the field present their work in areas such as student modeling, pedagogical strategy, knowledge assessment, natural language processing and virtual human agents. Several approaches to designing adaptive technology are discussed for both traditional educational settings and professional training domains. This book will appeal to anyone concerned with educational and training technology at a professional level, including researchers, training systems developers and designers.
