Good Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I am new to instructional design (ID). The first ID book I read was Gagne's Principles of Instructional Design. That was a tough book to read and understand for me. Patricia's book, however, is easier to read and understand about the field of ID. I particularly like how she related the concept of scaffolding with the Gagne's events of instructions. One thing I hope to see is the relation of Merrill's Component Display Theory to Gagne's events of instruction. Overall, I recommend this book.

This text was quite informative and covered everything. However, the layout of the text was boring. The font was small and each page had double columns which just made reading the material very arduous.
Excellent source for online coursework
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
In designing a course and a tutorial for to be taught online for the first time I used this text. I especially found the chapter on the affective component of course design helpful as students are very anxious initally with distance learning. I have subsequently used the book to retool my face-to-face classes. The examples and end-of-chapter sections are useful for new ideas and approaches.
Teaching Student's how to Learn, not what to Learn
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Beyond the fundamental Systematic Approach to Training process, Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation, the authors present proven strategies for teaching students how to learn. Problem-solving, delcarative knowledge, concepts, and principle scenarios are presented. This book is a valuable shelf reference for the K-12 teacher as well as the Instructional Technologist.

This is a well-organized and informative ISD textbook. It also serves as a great reference for me as an ISD practitioner. I consider this book a small but quite valuable investment.
