Instructional Design 3rd Edition

Guys, I can't tell you how nice and sweet the seller was in packaging the book and leaving me a note and everything. I mean, given the price and deal I got - it was above and beyond service.This is a GREAT book for EVERY instructional designer to own. Not a light read. Lots to absorb and digest - great to reference and read over time, and read in any order.The content validates the hard work IDs go through - if for nothing else, to maintain our sanity knowing sometimes its just best to keep doing the good work we do in the systematic way we do it, and let those who don't know and refuse to learn, continue on their own path (i.e. programmers, engineers, graphic artists and such - more aligned with eLearning product development).

I enrolled in a Masters-level university class that I found very frustrating because I lacked some knowledge about teaching (my undergrad is in Business Administration). There were excerpts of many resources that had been offered, chapter 7 of this book was among them. I liked the way the book was structured and how well instructional design strategy was explained. So I decided to purchase the book and have found it be an excellent resource to not only complete some of the holes in my former training but also it provided an approach I could use when I am creating new programs.

I'm really enjoying using my tablet for studying. I do still prefer a paper book but, this is less expensive and doesn't take up shelf space. I like that I can highlight and add my own notes as well. The fact that it was less than half of the price of the hardcopy textbook makes it even better!

Its very detailed but a little harder to read than the usual textbooks.

This book is good if you have an amazing teacher helping you through the process and referencing parts for you. When I read it the first time on my own I didn't find it nearly as useful as I had it with a professor. So if you already know how to do instructional design or if you have an expert helping you this book will be beneficial.

This book was very helpful, easy to read, it shows the process to start the instructional design. It brings clear ideas and I wish I could keep the book a lot longer. Good feedback from my friends who borrowed it.

I use this a lot for my ISD Course work, well written and easy to follow. Can be referenced as peer reviewed.

I am in an Instructional Design Masters Program and this is the worst textbook I have seen. The writing is unbelievably dry. I reads like a manual. The typeset is small, the pages are organized in columns and there are very few visual aids. In general I have very good reading comprehension but with this book I had to re-read pages several times because because it was so dull I wasn't retaining anything.
