Introduction

Products, technologies, and workplaces change so quickly today that everyone is continually learning. Many of us are also teaching, even when it''s not in our job descriptions. Whether it''s giving a presentation, writing documentation, or creating a website or blog, we need and want to share our knowledge with other people. But if you''ve ever fallen asleep over a boring textbook, or fast-forwarded through a tedious e-learning exercise, you know that creating a great learning experience is harder than it seems.
