Instructional Systems Design: What it's all about
by Curtis L. Broderick
This “dead end” and perhaps “vanity” page by Curtis L. Broderick provides a downloadable overview of ISD. He writes:
"I've got an excellent idea about how we could teach this." This statement could be the beginning of a smashing training design that learners will use with joy and glee, instruction that will have them engaged and really learning. Or, it could be the path to instructional hell, with the trainer left scratching his head as to why it didn't work.
The extended article, to which he links, is from the November 2001 issue of Training Journal by Fennman Press, UK.
