Coming March 27, 2007 to TechnoFeature: Learning new software is like learning how to drive — most people can't rely on the manual alone. Most of us needed Driver's Ed classes as well as a few times around the block in the family station wagon before driving became second nature. Computer software requires similar training and practice. In this article, legal technology consultant Pat Nemish provides an overview of available training methods, discusses what she thinks works best, and suggests what to do before, during, and after training. From exploratory learning to one-on-one instruction, you'll be cruising along in no time.
