The Comprehensive Guide to Designing Quality Learning Materials
Rapid Instructional Design takes you step by step through the widely used ADDIE model to design, develop, and deliver high-quality instructional materials. This newly updated third edition includes coverage of the latest products and technologies that facilitate the process, as well as brand new information on mobile learning, social network-based learning, communities of practice, and informal learning. You'll discover the best methods for determining the learner's needs and current level of knowledge, defining a concrete end goal, and creating the most effective intervention to aid in the transition. New templates and examples clearly illustrate theory and application, allowing you to immediately begin using what you've learned.
Almost all instructional design models are based on ADDIE--Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. This book walks you through the entire process in clear terms, giving you the practical understanding you need to apply good instructional design. It is your guide to:
- Perform a pre-design assessment that informs design strategy
- Identify objectives, and determine content, structure, and delivery
- Overcome common implementation challenges with beta tests
- Evaluate results to determine effectiveness and guide revisions
- Discover the technologies and products that provide useful shortcuts
Instructional designers and technologists are in high demand as organizations increasingly turn toward instructional design to solve business performance problems and provide media-rich e-learning solutions. As the go-to alternative to traditional theory-based texts, Rapid Instructional Design is the informative, highly practical industry standard guide.
