5.0 out of 5 starsAdd this one to your ID library
By GoodNWise on July 15, 2011
Format: Hardcover
If you are an instructional designer, you really should have this book. Seriously. Don't be fooled by the "Technical Training" part of the title (all the information applies to ANY kind of knowledge-based training). This book lays out what you need to know to design any kind of instruction (classroom, virtual, or eLearning). Now don't get me wrong, Dr. Clark doesn't actually cover the technologies themselves; she covers the principles and procedures for designing training that can be delivered in many different ways. If you need a book that helps you learn how to design training, look no further (this book will give you the knowledge you need).

5.0 out of 5 starsWish I had had this book 20 years ago!
By Marie Biancuzzo on October 5, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I have been providing continuing education to healthcare professionals for more than 20 years. I have invested hundreds of dollars on stacks of books and few have been as helpful as this book. This book gave me clear focus on writing my objectives, organizing my content, determining what media to use, and hitching all of that to my post-test questions.

I've spent most of my career married to Bloom's taxonomy, which Ruth Clark acknowledges and incorporate into her book. But she relies more heavily on the work of Gagne, which I found helpful. All of her recommendations are clear and practical. I could read a chapter and almost instantaneously implement what she was suggesting.

This book helped me to realize the things that I do successfully, and enabled me to do more of those things! It also helped me to do less of the stuff that wasn't useful.

Although the theoretical underpinnings are very clear, the book is not a theory book on instructional design. It is for the real-life teacher or trainer, with plenty of practical implications. The book is highly well-organized, and written with an easy-to-understand approach. Clark gives multiple examples, exercises to reinforce learning, and useful resources in each chapter.

There are only two things I might have wished for that this book did not provide. First, the book is indeed limited to technical training. Since I do continuing education, I often had to make the leap in my own mind between how to teach a task (which this book explains well) and how to manage a healthcare management issue, which is what I teach. But since the title of the book clearly says "technical training", I could not realistically expect it to address my particular concerns.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsI would also recommend Technical Training Basics
By SilverCat on March 20, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
A classic book for those in Instructional Design. Gives the low-down on what to consider when called upon to design or develop a curriculum that is difficult to understand or has lots of jargon. I would also recommend Technical Training Basics ASTD

5.0 out of 5 starsA concise, practical and valuable training development resource
By dale a. currier, MS Ed., SPHR, CPT, CEM, MEP on February 1, 2013
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
There are many books that cover the design and development of training, however, few address the specific requirements for developing technical training. The author has combined sound research, theory and practical application in creating a valuable training development resource. The information and examples presented can be readily applied to most technical training development situations. The book is a good read and leaves out the "filler and fluff" found in many other training related books. Great value for the money.

By C. ONEILL on November 10, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I found this to be extremely helping in thinking through how to develop a training session so to bridge the technical and social aspects of the material I needed to cover. This book will serve as a key reference in developing future training.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent resource
By T. Kirsch on August 7, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This book gets to the heart of the instructional design process and provides the reader with a good grasp of how to construct learning materials. The research and resources provided in this book will provide me with rationale for design factors. Highlighting the differences in virtual vs classroom influences on learning was really helpful.
