The ID CaseBook: Case Studies in Instructional Design

by Peggy A. Ertmer (Editor), James A. Quinn, Krista D. Glazewski

The fifth edition of The ID CaseBook provides instructional design students with 26 realistic, open-ended case studies that encourage adept problem-solving across a variety of client types and through all stages of the process. After an introduction to the technique of case-based reasoning, the book offers three sections dedicated to K-12, post-secondary, and corporate clients, respectively, each composed of varied, detailed cases created by instructional design experts. The cases and their accompanying discussion questions encourage students to analyze the available information, develop action plans, and consider alternative possibilities in resolving problems. The esteemed editor team of Peggy A. Ertmer, James A. Quinn, and Krista D. Glazewski continue their considerable contribution to the teaching of instructional design with this thoroughly revised and updated volume.

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.
