One of the best books written on the subject!
By A Customer
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.

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.

By Linda Ross, PhD
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they were researched and written, and as with any text that contains hyperlinks, you will find some of the links are no longer active.
