Good Instructional Design Applies to Any Media

This book is a detailed primer for anyone who needs to know what is involved in designing and developing instructionally sound Web-based training. The authors weave the requirements of Web design and instructional design into a clearly presented process. This design methodology is grounded in good instructional practice and it demonstrates a wealth of practical experience with design and development projects. If you want to know practical things, like the difference between writing for text and writing for a Web-based training product, or how to include usability and summative evaluation in your testing plan, this is a good source of information. This book comes with a CD containing electronic versions of the large number of design and development forms presented in the book. Instructional Design for Web-based Training is a must-read for anyone contemplating designing custom Web-based instruction. The most compelling reason for reading the book is that the authors realize that the basics of good design are no different whether intended for any instruction-delivery medium or for the Web. While means of delivering instruction are constantly changing, what makes for sound instruction remains basically unchanged. By paying close attention and following the processes presented in this book, you can successfully initiate and execute your own eLearning project.
