Our purpose in writing this text was to present an instructional design model and related information that is practical, applicable to a number of situations, and can mature with the instructional designer.The model presented in this book is eclectic in that it borrows ideas from many different disciplines and approaches to instructional design. We believe that there is never one perfect approach to solving an instructional problem. As a result, we have incorporated both behavioral and cognitive approaches into the model so that we can reap the benefits of each.
