Products, technologies, and workplaces change so quickly today that everyone is continually learning. Many of us are also teaching, even when it's not in our job descriptions. Whether it's giving a presentation, writing documentation, or creating a website or blog, we need and want to share our knowledge with other people. But if you've ever fallen asleep over a boring textbook, or fast-forwarded through a tedious e-learning exercise, you know that creating a great learning experience is harder than it seems.

In Design For How People Learn, Second Edition, you'll discover how to use the key principles behind learning, memory, and attention to create materials that enable your audience to both gain and retain the knowledge and skills you're sharing. Updated to cover new insights and research into how we learn and remember, this new edition includes new techniques for using social media for learning as well as two brand new chapters on designing for habit and best practices for evaluating learning, such as how and when to use tests. Using accessible visual metaphors and concrete methods and examples, Design For How People Learn, Second Edition will teach you how to leverage the fundamental concepts of instructional design both to improve your own learning and to engage your audience.

I liked that this book was easy to read and broke down complicated contacts in simple terms. It’s a usual book for anyone who is looking to go into instructional design.

Beware of Trick Rentals!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

This is a fantastic book! I first listened to it on Audible and then later decided I wanted a physical copy. However, you have to watch out to make sure you are really buying the book and not renting. I do not remember ANY indication whatsoever that I was renting not buying when I purchased this book. If you accidentally rent, later you have to pay even more to keep the book you thought you bought! It was expensive for a used book, too. I thought I was buying from Amazon (I always use Amazon Prime) but the seller was RentU. I'll be more careful when clicking "Buy Now" in the future. If I want to borrow, I can go to the library for free instead of paying over $30!

This book is engaging from start to finish. The concepts are presented with analogies, examples, and illustrations, making the material easy to grasp and apply. Supported by the latest research, the information is quite helpful for anyone interested in creating meaningful and compelling learning experiences—a must-read.

Great book. Good ideas to think of. Could benefit from strategies

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 26, 2017

Verified Purchase

Great book! I'm very critical of instructional design. This book really wants to help you make your courses better. Author shows you what to think of when planning and creating your coruse so that your students actually learn.

The only con is that the material is more conceptual which is still helpful, but could've been extended with real strategies.

For example the author will say that your students have a gap and you need to fill that gap and think of how your content will fill the gap before creating your content, but what the author doesn't give is strategies on how to develop to fill the gap. How do you fill the gap? How do you really know what the gap is?

Overall, this will get you thinking and coming up with a course that will be better than what you would've created and most likely better than the crappy courses out there!

Wonderful content, horrible seller experience

About the seller experience: (please scroll down for book review)

I thought I was purchasing a used copy of this for roughly $15 through Amazon. However, I must have chosen a "rental" by accident. It was not clear any where in the details that I was choosing a rental.

Upon receiving the book I though I purchased, I received a rather used and worn book. Odd, I thought, and started to read and mark-up the book as my own. Weeks later, I received a notice that my "rental was due." I was dumbfounded since I thought I had purchased a book. Since I marked in it, I had to pay another $15 to "buy out the rental."

In the end, I've paid $30 (the full retail value for a NEW book) for a heavily worn rental.

Amazon, please make your website more clear! What a frustrating experience.

About the content:

Beautifully written. Engaging. Helpful. Human. The author distills best-practices in learning design into bite-sized, entertaining chunks of learning. Her book itself is a masterclass in how to create an informational book which won't bore the reader. I highly recommend the book for any educator or learning designer!

Excellent Examples!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 1, 2021

Verified Purchase

I have enjoyed this book so far. They make sure that the principles matter but providing solid scenarios. It is also written in a way that I can go back and reference certain chapters. Trainers/Instructional Designers seem to be the target audience, but this book is a great one to read about messaging. If you have a role that requires you to deliver a message to a human being, I think you should reach this book.

Learned a lot and had fun along

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

After reading a few other books about learning, I discovered this one. It took me longer as each chapter was to be studied, understood and absorbed. I just finished, but will read it again.

I read on kindle, but will buy also a hard copy. Each with its advantages. Now, I really understand how much goes into creating a good learning experience for adults. A book I recommend to many who teach, train, create any material.
