This book does exactly what a well-designed course should do -- it's a relevant guide for anyone who wants to know how to apply good instructional design. In a no-nonsense voice, the book defines ID, and then takes readers step-by-step through the most used widespread instructional model - ADDIE: analysis, design, development, intervention, and evaluation. It follows with sections that provide shortcuts for rapid design and guidelines for synchronous and asynchronous e-learning, all updated with the latest technology and methods and with special considerations preparing learners and for designing for Millennials and MOOCs. A brand new section will address New Design Applications, including mobile learning, social network-based learning, communities of practice, and informal learning.
