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.

Amazon,
I would like you to know that this book was not in good condition. There was yellow, orange and pink highligher all through it. I tried to cancel the order but it was too late. I will use the book next year but it is not worth the $40.00 dollars I paid for it. It maybe worth half but I will not buy books from this seller again.
