About this title

Review

"The Dick/Carey/Carey model is the most comprehensive, clear, and conducive support tool to teach introductory instructional design courses.  The fact that the model is laid out at the beginning and followed throughout the book guides and supports the learning process."

Celina Byers, Bloomsburgh University

 

"...the process of instructional design is clarified and logically introduced, thus providing valuable support to students' first introduction to the design process...the clarity of the text enables students to practice the process as they work on independent design projects."

Virginia McGinnis, Edinboro University of Pennsylvania
