Books

edit

Solis notes, Trends and Issues in Instructional Design and Technology 2nd Ed. was written to define instructional design and technology; the theories involved, job seeking competencies, resources and an explanation of the current direction of field. He asserts the presentation of instructional design models and the systems approach is less prescribed or linear in the book.[5]

Harati recommends the book Trends and Issues in Instructional Design and Technology Third Ed. (2011) for individuals interested in the field of education, instructional design and technology. He asserts that ID seek to address the shortcomings of traditional methods through data collection, chunking, scaffolding and authentic experiences during tasks.[6]
