Ten Steps to Complex Learning: A Systematic Approach to Four-Component Instructional Design

by Jeroen van Merriënboer, Paul A. Kirschner

Ten Steps to Complex Learning presents a path from a training problem to a training solution in a way that students, practitioners (both instructional designers and teachers), and researchers can understand and easily use. Practitioners can use this book as a reference guide to support their design of courses, materials, or environments for complex learning. Students in the field of instructional design can use this book to broaden their knowledge of the design of training programs for complex learning. Now fully revised to incorporate the most current research in the field, this second edition of Ten Steps to Complex Learning includes user-friendly examples and case studies, and demonstrates the application of the ten steps in relation to the design of serious games, learning networks, social media, and new developments in educational neuroscience.

I had a very difficult time reading this book. As an English teacher, there are formats to writing that I expect. This author did not follow those formats. There are random words that are placed between dashes, for no reason. The vocabulary words are enclosed in stars. There is no definition for those words in the text. They are in the glossary in the back, so the author sees no purpose in defining them for the reader. It is very confusing and difficult to understand. I honestly can't wait to sell this book back to the bookstore.
