Publisher's Synopsis
Think and Learn Rich is not just a research study, but a story of about crossing the great divide that separates the workplace and academia. A training and development professional based in Montreal, George Saridakis explores what happens when a popular organizational learning methodology, Accelerated Learning, is co-opted to design a graduate course in educational technology. Saridakis argues for the viability of accelerated learning in traditional university settings and then puts it to the test. What ensues is a firsthand account of the journey, including triumphs and setbacks, participant perspectives and concludes with some compelling insights about the process of conducting an action research project while simultaneously taking on the role of teaching assistant.
