Rapid Instructional Design (ePub)

The classic guide to instructional design, fully updated for the
new ways we learn

Rapid Instructional Design is the industry standard guide
to creating effective instructional materials, providing
no-nonsense practicality rather than theory-driven text. Beginning
with a look at what "instructional design" really means, readers
are guided step-by-step through the ADDIE model to explore
techniques for analysis, design, development, intervention, and
evaluation. This new third edition has been updated to cover new
applications, technologies, and concepts, and includes many new
templates, real-life examples, and additional instructor materials.
Instruction delivery has expanded rapidly in the nine years since
the second edition's publication, and this update covers all the
major advances in the field. The major instructional models are
expanded to apply to e-learning, MOOCs, mobile learning, and social
network-based learning. Informal learning and communities of
practice are examined, as well.

Instructional design is the systematic process by which
instructional materials are designed, developed, and delivered.
Designers must determine the learner's current state and needs,
define the end goals of the instruction, and create an intervention
to assist in the transition. This book is a complete guide to the
process, helping readers design efficient, effective materials.
