Customer Reviews

Good Book, Helpful Tool

This book came as a recommendation for work and is almost like required reading. But it has been a useful book with some helpful tips. It is written for those not already in the workplace, but can be adapted to fit a current professional's needs. Written mostly like a text book so skimming it was best for me.

Education, Training and Development

This book offers a series of vignettes on the building of instructional systems designs that work. Quality techniques to particular academic methods. It is a collection of what works.The introduction is really framework for the papers which follow, indeed, most of the papers assume a familiarity with instruction, yet the book would be useful for organizations needing standard operating procedures for designing instruction effectively.

Comprehensive instruction

This book is nice because it explains it's information in real world terms. I needed it for a graduate class and it served as a huge resource. I would recommend it for future use.

Fast and Great

Very fast and reliable. Easy to order from and clear. Would recommend for others!

Instructional Design Guideline

This book has a unique way of presenting the information full of informative tables and figures. I really liked it because it gives a new dimension for the ID. Although, it is my second book I have read about this filed, I am feeling confident of my understanding of it.
