DESCRIPTION:
Great Text for an Instructional Design Course James Wenzel Ertmer & Quinn's (2003) "The ID Case Book, Case Studies in Instructional Design, Second Edition," was a required text of the University of Wyoming's course, Design and Development of Instructional Systems, (ITEC 5560). The course was taught by Tillman Ragan, PhD. I have selected this text for review because it is a current and relevant text in the field of instructional technology and has implications for adult education. I am engaged in the research of both disciplines as part of my doctoral studies for the University Of Wyoming. The book is. "Do NOT buy this unless you are in a class that requires it!" according to A Customer. I bought the ID Casebook for pleasure reading and because I wanted to learn from real-life examples. Unfortuately, the book is designed to be used in a class with an instructor's guide. I began reading the book and within the first case the instructor's guide was referenced. I tried to buy the instructor's guide and was told that since I was not an instructor I could not buy the guide. The book is pretty much useless to me without the guide. I can go through and read the cases but without some of the accompanying material that is necessary in. A Customer said Excellent. This is an excellent book of case studies from all realms of business. It gives real life examples of some true; yet, unbelievable situations that have taken place with instructional design. Great learning tool and the examples are concise enough that you can read it quickly and have plenty of time to ponder about what you have just read. I would highly recommend this book for anyone learning about ISD or for ISD's that would like the opportunity to experience new situations while applying ISD tactics. Great Book!
By giving readers opportunities to encounter many different challenges in a variety of settings (corporate, K-12, higher education) involving a range of issues and subjects, these cases effectively bridge the gulf between the complexities of the design world and the principles taught in ID courses. A thoughtful introduction to the book written by the editors speaks to the readers directly and takes them, step-by-step, through the case study method explaining the study of cases in supportive, accessible language that will allay any fears of users unfamiliar with this type of learning. For future instructional designers.. Alphabetical arrangement by instructional designer hides case problem behind the anonymity of the designer, keeps the case titles from alerting learners to the issues involved, and challenges them to identify and define the challenge on their own. The thirty-six richly-detailed, authentic cases are all written by practicing instructional designers and have been carefully chosen to provide enough depth to develop competence. With 20 cases, this is a thorough revision of the only ID casebook available
Richey, Wayne State University . Ertmer and Quinn have set a standard against which future ID casework will be measured." -- Joan Mazur, University of Kentucky "There is no substitute for application of our theories to problems in the real world. "The ID CaseBook pioneers what I hope will be a professional case tradition in ID that will convey the wisdom of practice and the complexity of design. Moreover, it lends itself to dealing with issues confronting advanced as well as novice designers." -- Rita C. This text puts the real world right "in your face" as class members puzzle their way through true-to-life situations." -- Nick Eastmond, Utah State University "I find that the rich
