I am new to the field if Instructional Design. I came from the pre-internet computing era, that became IT, then E-learning to Instructional Design. I am loving the work of an Instructual Designer and Developer, but working my way up practically I had not studied the theories behind Instructional Design. This is where this book comes in the theoretical and historic knowledge of the ID subject is great.

I learned where alot of the techniques, and why certain points the way they are. I would recomend this book to any one new to the subject, or trying to navigate the industry.

The only failing of this book, is the same problem I have currently in my job. People thing the changing a written book onto a PDF or MOBI and publishing it electronically is the same result. It is not where there are page breaks in the paper version, are not there on the kindle version. So chapters role together. Also in a paper version of the book I am sure you can do a knowledge check and flick to the answers at the back of the book together instant feedback. It is not tge same in the kindle version. I had to read through then look at the answers after I finished the book.

This is a great book, with lots of useful knowledge and techniques and real life examples/case studies. I would say in ID the format matters. In fairness to the author it was probobly written to be a paperback that was loaded to a kindle format. I wore recomend everyone buy the paperback version.

Interesante pero un pelín desactualizado. Sin duda un buen libro para acercarse a esta rama.
