The Essentials of Instructional Design, 5th Edition (EPUB)

by Abbie H. Brown, Timothy D. Green

The Essentials of Instructional Design, Fifth Edition introduces the fundamental elements of instructional design (ID) to students who are new to ID. The key procedures within the ID process―learner analysis, task analysis, needs analysis, developing goals and objectives, organizing instruction, developing instructional activities, assessing learner achievement, and evaluating the success of the ID―are comprehensively covered and enriched with descriptions and examples of how these procedures are accomplished using the best-known models. This revised fifth edition features firsthand testimonials from ID professionals; new content on accessibility, innovation, virtual environments, digital video, feedback, and rubrics; thoroughly updated references and definitions; and more.
Unlike most other ID books, The Essentials of Instructional Design provides an overview of the principles and practice of ID without placing emphasis on any one model. Perspectives from a variety of contexts and sectors exemplify how professional organizations put the numerous ID processes into effective practice. Offering a variety of possible approaches for each step in the ID process and clearly explaining the strengths and challenges associated with each, the book will prepare students with the information they need to make informed decisions as they design and develop instruction.
