About the Book
Instructional design can feel overwhelming when you're just getting started. Between the frameworks, the theories, the stakeholders, and the endless acronyms, it's easy to wonder where to even begin, or whether you accidentally signed up for a career that requires a degree in rocket science to understand.
The Instructional Design Handbook cuts through the noise and gives you a practical, plain-language guide to the entire instructional design process, from figuring out whether training is even the right solution in the first place, to measuring whether it actually worked when it was all said and done. Along the way, you'll explore the adult learning theories and principles that experienced instructional designers actually rely on, and more importantly, how to apply them to design performance-based training solutions, including eLearning, instructor-led training, and more, that change real behavior on the job.
What's Inside
Each chapter walks you through one stage of the instructional design process in plain language, with real examples, practical tips, and reflection questions to help you apply what you've learned to your own work.
Learn by Example
Theory is easier to understand when you can see it in action. Throughout the book, you'll follow a single training request through the entire instructional design process, from the first conversation with a stakeholder to measuring results on the job.
More Than a Book
The book doesn't stop at the last page. Readers get access to a library of downloadable templates and worksheets, bonus videos from Tim, and real-world training examples to put the process into practice right away.
