Editor's note
=============

Confused by competency mapping? Dazzled by didactic methods?
Ignorant about emotional intelligence? Look no further than the
TrainingZONE glossary for help. This week, we launch a brand new
area of the site, designed to act as an instant reference tool
for anyone wanting a concise definition of the most common
training terms and 'jargon'. We kick off the series with the
topics listed below - if any terms have you baffled and you'd
like them explained, or if you think you can provide the
definitive explanation of a training approach used in your work,
e-mail me at the address below.
