It has been more than fifteen years since the publication of the first edition of Mastering the Instructional Design Process. During that time the book has become a classic in the field providing professionals, trainers, and students with a step–by–step guide through all aspects of the instructional design process.
Mastering the Instructional Design Process was the first book to translate the research conducted by the International Board of Standards for Training and Performance and Instruction (IBSTPI) research that established the sixteen core competencies of instructional system design into a systematic process for developing those competencies and applying them successfully in real–world settings. In the past two decades there have been profound changes in the state–of–the–art of the instructional design profession. To provide instructional designers with the most current information, this third edition makes use of the recent IBSTPI standards for instructional design. The revised competencies
- Address the professional foundations of design, as well as planning and analysis, design development, and management skills
- Encompass tasks of both novice and experienced and expert design professionals
- Have been validated using a national and international population
Mastering the Instructional Design Process, Third Edition also addresses current trends and developments breaking new technologies, rapid change, outsourcing of internal instructional designers, knowledge capital, speed in market change, and globalization and diversity that are influencing today’s business environment and the instructional design process.
To help you create customizable job aids, the book includes a CD–ROM filled with sample forms, checklists, activities, and PowerPoint presentations for each chapter. The third edition of Mastering the Instructional Design Process features case examples from myriad workplace environments and contains the information, advice, and tools you need to ensure that your planning training and development function is the most up–to–date.
