Instructional Design Essentials: A Practical Guide for Librarians, No. 42, by Sean Cordes

摘要

As librarians, we are used to being thrust into new initiatives with minimal training. For example, when we started creating and designing online guides, many of us may not have had a formal education or instructional design background to create strong resources. We intuitively refer back to examples that have caught our attention online. Luckily, a compact book like Instructional Design Essentials: A Practical Guide for Librarians by Sean Cordes is published to offer a quick basic introduction into the essential materials in instructional design. Cordes, a professor at Western Illinois University, has offered readers the option of mastering the fundamentals of instructional design, creating instruction and training that is both consistent and reliable.
