Summary: An essential addition to your library - Online ID's
Comment: A great piece for the instructional designer or senior learning consultant. Working in the e-learning industry, I found this book not just a good read but a subject of continuous reference. New, Innovative and smart!
Get it!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Be fearless
Comment: As daunting as this book is, I must admit, it's a tour de force. Not one turn unstoned. Quit your job, steel yourself, and reread its passages, several times if necessary. Do so simultaneously, as I am, with Psychology of Learning for Instruction (Marcy Driscoll) and know astronaut-training in instructional design.

Summary: Systematic Design of Instruction, The (6th Edition)
Comment: I had to read this book for a graduate level Instructional Design class. The structure of information within the chapters was poorly organized and not presented clearly. Chapters on actually developing course objectives, material and strategy completely lacked any valuable content. Overall a major disappointment.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Cumbersome & confusing
Comment: Granted, instructional design is not easy! But this book (and the Dick & Carey model in general) go so far into minute details that the bigger picture is lost!
I liked the outlay of the chapters. Each chapter represents a step in the instructional design process. This is the best feature of the book. But then the model/book goes into minutia and makes for heavy & confusing reading. In fact, several times I found myself saying "I think I understood what they meant the first time they said it, but after they said it 10 different ways, including 3 charts & diagrams, now I'm not so sure!"
The use of the examples in the book, particularly the charts & diagrams add to the confusion rather than making things more clear! A further example of this, is that often page 113, for example, will reference a chart on page 118. So amist the confusion, you have to turn the page and look back and forth between the text and the chart.
I also don't care for the size of the book. It's irregular and adds to the cumbersome feel of the text.
While it's true that with instructional design, you have to get down to the nitty gritty detail, this textbook seems to wallow in it much, much too long!

Summary: For the Instructional Designer
Comment: We used this book in my design class when I was earning a masters in training. It is still on my bookshelf. It is critical not only for instructional designers, but for managers who may know little or nothing about training but make training decisions.
This book focuses on a specific method to designing training programs. It is called the Instructional Systems Design Model (ISD), hence the title. It is also called A.D.D.I.E. This is the most commonly accepted approach to training.
The only thing that I wish the book had spent some pages on was using the two-column format. This book had everything else but that.
Still, there are certain texts that well-informed trainers have. This is one of them.
