Multimedia-Based Instructional Design is a thoroughly revised and updated second edition of the best-selling book that provided a complete guide to designing and developing interactive multimedia training. While most training companies develop their training programs in many different technological delivery media—computer-based, web-based, and distance learning technologies—this unique book demonstrates that the same instructional design process can be used for all media. Using just one process reduces cycle time for course development—and also reduces costs.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"An essential handbook for anyone involved in the design, development, and implementation of multimedia training environments." (Francis M. Dwyer, professor, Instructional Systems Program, Pennsylvania State University)
"This book makes a compelling argument that all training-especially multimedia training-requires good planning, and I haven't seen better planning tools anywhere in one package. I predict it will be thumb-worn by designers, developers, and deliverers of multimedia training who want to save front-And money and time." (Peter C. Vail, College of Continuing Education, University of Oklahoma) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Review
“Finally, the book I have longed for is on the shelf! The second edition of Multimedia-Based Instructional Design, by William W. Lee and Diana L. Owens, is strong on practice, grounded in proven theoretical principles, and chock full of automated tools that make the instructional design process easy to learn and easy to apply.”
—Angela Benson, assistant professor, Department of Human Resource Education, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

“There are many books about the development of e-Learning but very few that answer the question ‘How do I do it?’ This book provides many answers to that question in a way that demonstrates both the authors’ knowledge of development theory as well as their practical, real-world mastery.”
—Thomas Toth, Certified Macromedia MX 2004 Developer and author, Technology for Trainers, and e-Learning designer and developer

Format:Hardcover
Multimedia-based Instructional Design is not simply a great handbook for course developers. Lee and Owens have written a book that helps shift the emphasis in organizations from training (content mastery in orientation) to learning (job role in orientation). They have done this by directing the reader's attention to short, action oriented chapters. The reader is not forced to plow through exhaustive summaries of the body of knowledge, but is treated to concise summaries of theory and research. In each chapter, the authors have been careful to outline a sequence of action and provide the reader with forms, checklists and templates. It captures the leading edge in thinking so well that I've purchased enough copies to supply every professional on our staff with a personal copy along with the comment that "there is no sense reinventing the wheel; the blueprint is here."

This book was exactly what I was looking for. It gives detailed descriptions of how to develop multimedia training courses. I have purchased other books in the past that were based on theory and management techniques. This book will help you build your programs from the ground up.

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Overly generous interline spacing has made a large book out of what is a effectively a small book. Much of the material in the book struck me as on the edge of redundant and out of touch with emerging developments. Many of the references are very dated (seventies and eighties material) and some are simply obscure. The book just isn't convincingly up to date.
The emphasis on form filling will appeal to all those types who like to run software projects by form filling. There is no creative thrust to this book and the complimentary technology angles are weak. The CD contained nothing that I hadn't been aware of in other modes or hadn't created with MS Office components. It is largely an irrelevancy.
For corporate types who want to roll out loads of flannel about elearning project management, this book may be a gem. For developers however, I would recommend Allessi and Trollip as a much superior text. Personally speaking, this book was not a good value purchase by me.
