Reading Resources
There is flexibility in the required readings. Several sources can offer the same motivation for discussions and so you have some options.
Required Textbook:
Several textbooks arelisted as recommended
but the course will primarily be following "Designing Effective
Instruction." In this course the students will create the curriculum
by reading from many sources, discussing the reading and participating
in activities which will enhance the discovery of instructional
design.
However, it is strongly
advised that the students that students acquire several of the following
books in order to successfully complete this course.
"Designing Effective
Instruction" (fifth edition) b
y Gary R. Morrison, Steven M. Ross, and Jerrold E. Kemp.
"This book will serve as a guide for this course,
defining a model from which other models may be adapted. This book
will be the most useful of the recommended textbooks and will be
the primary source of our discussions."
"Designing Effective
Instruction" (other editions) b
y Gary R. Morrison, Steven M. Ross, and Jerrold E. Kemp.
There are other editions of the same book including the recent 6th edition. If you chose either the fourth or sixth edition the material will be similar but the page numbers may vary. I recommend the 5th edition for this course as references will be made to that edition.
"Trends and Issues
in Instructional Design and Technology" (second edition) b
y Robert A. Reiser and John V. Dempsey.
"'Trends' offers a look at another model for
designing instruction as well as more offereings on the theory of
teaching and learning. As well as theory, this book also includes
information on the history and the future of instructional design.
This book will be used frequently throughout the course."
"Instructional
Technology for Teaching and Learning" (second edition)
by Timothy J. Newby, Donald A. Stepich, James D. Lehman and James
D. Russell.
"While Instructional Design evolved with technology
and implies the inclusion of computers and multimedia, this book
focuses in that direction. This book will be of interest to the
technically interested students."
"The ID Casebook"
(third edition)
by Peggy A. Ertmer and James Quinn.
"While there are always basics to any topic,
there are also exceptions and extremes. This book includes various
situations in which instructional designer have found themselves.
It's great for discussing the unusual cases."
Other Readings:
Other readings will be journal articles which
may found on the Internet or in the library and will be assigned
from time to time. Some of the following reading were found simply
by search on Google and
some other were found searching through the journals in the library.
For the first article I'd recommend to search for something like
"designing for the audience."
