Editorial Reviews
Review
"it is the rare textbook that would become dog-eared from continual use as a reference book long into my career" (Technical Communication, February 2007)
Review
"The chapter titled ‘Asynchronous E-Learning Design,’ is worth the price of the book. George understands the critical elements in implementing e-learning in an organization and getting it to stick."

5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the best books written on the subject!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rapid Instructional Design : Learning ID Fast and Right (Paperback)
A must have for all instructional designers and trainers. An extremely well written book and a very enjoyable read--- it puts the book "The Systematic Design of Instruction" to shame...which by the way is a "definite sleeper"! If you want current information about instructional design, with step by step directions, with clear and concise professional opinion, this book is definitely for you! I highly recommend this book to all design associates.

Clear and easy to follow,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rapid Instructional Design : Learning ID Fast and Right (Paperback)
I teach Instructional Design, and most of my Grad students don't have a clue what it is. They do not realize that Instructional Design is a Process not a Product. Piskurich's book is a no-nonesense walk through all the steps in the process. Each step is explained in clear, unambiguous language, and is easy to follow. This book can make anyone into an Instructional Designer.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A good resource to add to your ID library,
By Linda Ross, PhD (Covington (greater Seattle), WA, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rapid Instructional Design : Learning ID Fast and Right (Paperback)
While certainly not the "definitive" book on the art and science of instructional systems design, this text contains lots of tips and tools to help you as you design your instructional project. Warning: Because books are often published months or years after they were researched and written, and as with any text that contains hyperlinks, you will find some of the links are no longer active.
