Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)For those already familiar with the design of instruction, there's not much new here. It's a very basic book that doesn't stray far from basic instructional design, with little information that's really web-specific. I believe the author's definition of what constitutes a web-based learning experience is too limiting as is her definition of what constitutes good and bad WBT. I felt that the author's opinions were too often expressed as facts, which may be misleading for the novice to either WBT or instructional design. It reads more like a report by a journalist or academic, who although she's definitely researched the topic, has no deep understanding of it, or practical experience. At least none demonstrated within the confines of the book. It's also written in a very redundant style. I believe it's overpriced for the value it delivers. It might be an acceptable choice for a introductory college class, if used in conjunction with resources providing more detailed/alternative views. A better choice for a business-world practitioner would be Brandon Hall's Web-based Training Cookbook.
