Summary
We have usedDesigning Effective Instruction in introductory ID courses and experienced its use from both the instructors' and the learners' perspective. Our overall conclusion is that it is highly usable and accessible to beginning ID students, including those whose first language may not be English. The ID model presented is clear and the focus on the learner throughout is appropriate and in line with current research emphases and trends. The inclusion of Microsoft Projecttm makes a clear and concrete statement that ID can benefit from technology, not only in the delivery of instruction, but in the planning of structured learning activities and in managing instructional development efforts.
