Reddit mentions of Training on Trial: How Workplace Learning Must Reinvent Itself to Remain Relevant

I'd like to make some book recommendations for you:

• Learn how the brain learns. Pick up one book by Ruth Clark. There's some duplication across her books. Perhaps start with Efficiency in Learning -- this book has a CD in the back, so make note of that if you are getting a Kindle or used version. If that one doesn't suit you, try Building Expertise.
  
  
• Pick up some quick tricks based on good theory. I adore Sharon Bowman -- see if you don't agree! My first book of hers was Training From the Back of the Room -- highly recommend!
  
  
• Learn a little about training in the business world, and the controversies around it. Training on Trial is great for this.
  
  
• I guess every instructional designer has a stack of go-to learning activities. Start your own collection of favorites. 101 Ways to Make Training Active is a good start!
  
  
• Ok, but how do you get a good grip on the managing-work side of things? Check out The Trainer's Support Handbook. Free downloadable forms. I really can't say enough good things about this book.
  
  All of that looks great, but your budget means free is better? Dive into Don Clark's Big Dog and Little Dog website!
