Title: Good for the basics
Product review: Overall, I feel this book was written well. Most books related to instructional design are dense with jargon and fluff. This book cuts straight to the point. It really provides the reader with a crash course in instructional design. I would recommend this job to individuals who are new to instructional design or want a refresh on the basics. Its a quick read and easy to understand.One aspect of the book that I did not like was its coverage of Quality Control. To me, i found the quality control method to be subjective and not useful as an instructional designer. Instead of using these wordy acronyms, I would have like to see Hodell emphasize the kirkpatrick model and the benefits of using it. I understand that kirkpatrick is more useful after a course is developed but it is also the most crucial components when revising a course.I enjoyed the book though and found it to be an easy read.
