Get it done fast and right!

You're busy! You don't have the time or the need to wade through the theory of a traditional instructional design book. But you do need a basic understanding of what instructional design is and a hands-on, to-the-point method of ensuring that the training and performance interventions you put into place meet the needs of your staff and your organization. Right?

Well then this is the book that you've been waiting for! If you have any involvement in training or HRD at all, you'll find this guide to understanding and creating quick and effective training designs an asset to your work. Respected consultant and author, George Piskurich has included input and commentary from practitioners and trainers in this one-of-a-kind guide. Find out how these methods are applied in real world situations and how you can put them to work for you!



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) --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

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."
—Bob Bodine, director, Global Development, Medtronic Inc.

"Provides a thorough roadmap for serious instructional designers who are trying to increase the value of the lessons they are creating and delivering. . . . this book is a 'must have'."
—Phyllis Wright, director, Training and Organizational Development Human Resources, Baylor Health Care System

"For any training director charged with developing a staff, and for any training staff intent on improving efficiency and effectiveness of instruction, Rapid Instructional Design by Dr. George Piskurich is a must."
—Lynnette Huler, director, Training and Organizational Development, The Nash Finch Company --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books written on the subject!, October 22, 2000
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.

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, August 19, 2001
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.
