First published in 1992, the book provides a step-by-step guide through all aspects of the instructional design process. Written by William J. Rothwell and H.C. Kazanas, the fourth edition provides the most current information and changes of the instructional design profession. the authors explain, “The book identifies the core competencies o the International Board of Standards of Performance and Instruction (IBSTPI). The book identifies the core competencies o instructional system design and presents them in a way that helps to develop these competencies and apply them successfully in the real world.”

I look forward to reading this book and can’t wait to discuss it with you next month!
