The ID. Casebook: Case Studies in Instructional Design

by Peggy A. Ertmer, James Quinn

With its problem-oriented approach to instructional design, the third edition of The ID CaseBook provides 32 cases situated in a variety of educational and business contexts. An update to the award-winning 2002 Outstanding Book in the Field of Instructional Design, this edition includes nine new cases and a matrix that easily identifies case content and context. Addressing settings ranging from K-12 to post-secondary; corporate; manufacturing; military; and distance learning, the case narratives include relevant background information, the problem in context, key players, available resources, and existing constraints. Two sets of discussion questions ask readers to analyze the situation and apply it to ID theory and practice.

If i had to read this entire book for grad school you bet your butt I’m adding it to my Goodreads. Very interesting in the fact that they liked to add weird little descriptive paragraphs about the weather and then would talk about the most diabolical, evil people and their inability to work with others three sentences later. Would not have read if it were not for school.

This book contains case studies of various instructional design challenges in a variety of disciplines. While I didn't read it cover-to-cover (I used it for a course, so only focused on my particular discipline), the chapters I read were very helpful in providing best practices in instructional design.

I am enjoying this a lot, because of all the books I have read about ID, this one give me a pretty clear picture of what the occupation can be like. Also, I read some of the cases to my wife, and she said, "Mark, you are going to enjoy this so much!" That was encouraging. I think I will too.

I enjoyed reading the case studies in the textbook. They gave me insight into an industry that I know only a little about and made me think about my own personal experiences as they pertain to Instruction Design of courseware.
