Subject field(s)
  • Education Theory and Methods
  • Training of Personnel
  • Internet and Telematics
CONT

Interactive training is the delivery and management of training via CD-ROM, intranet and Internet. Digital movies, animation, graphics and sound develop interest, increase participant attention span and leave a multi-sensory lasting impression. The trainee actively participates in the training/learning sessions by means of a user-friendly interface that empowers the participant with a sense of control over what they are learning and the pace at which they are learning. Repetition, in whole or in part, replaces stress with enjoyment and challenge at a fraction of the cost of traditional approaches.

Record 5 1986-10-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Working Practices and Conditions
  • Personnel and Job Evaluation
CONT

Time span is capable of ranking job contents over the whole range from chairman to shop floor, but it is more often used to evaluate jobs in middle and senior management. The procedure is to identify the time span of discretion-i. e. for how long can the incumbent of a job be left alone by his supervisor.... One way of identifying the time span for any job is to consider how long it might be before it became obvious that the present incumbent was either very good or very poor at it. Having determined the time span, it is then possible to establish a simple relationship between time span and salary.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Régimes et conditions de travail

OBS

Cette technique peut s'appliquer à tous les emplois du plus haut au plus bas, mais on l'utilise surtout pour ceux de cadre moyen ou supérieur. On recherche la durée de capacité autonome, c'est-à-dire la durée pendant laquelle la personne en place peut être laissée à elle-même sans encadrement.
