Synopsis

Multimedia-Based Instructional Design is a thoroughly revised and updated second edition of the best-selling book that provided a complete guide to designing and developing interactive multimedia training. While most training companies develop their training programs in many different technological delivery media—computer-based, web-based, and distance learning technologies—this unique book demonstrates that the same instructional design process can be used for all media. Using just one process reduces cycle time for course development—and also reduces costs.

About this title

From the Back Cover

A New Edition of the Book that Turned the Training World Upside Down

Just as the groundbreaking first edition of Multimedia-Based Instructional Design offered a complete guide to designing and developing interactive multimedia training, the second edition is filled with relevant new content, automated tools on the erb site, updates on standards, and current case studies and demonstrations.

Praise for the second edition of Multimedia-Based Instructional Design

"Finally, the book I have longed for is on the shelf! The second edition of Multimedia-Based Instructional Design, by William W. Lee and Diana L. Owens, is strong on practice, grounded in proven theoretical principles, and chock-full of automated tools that make the instructional design process easy to learn and easy to apply."
–Angela Benson, assistant professor, Department of Human Resource Education, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign

"There are many books about the development of e-Learning but very few that answer the question 'How do I do it?' This book provides many answers to that question in a way that demonstrates both the authors’ knowledge of development theory as well as their practical, real-world mastery."
–Thomas Toth, Certified Macromedia MX 2004 Developer; author, Technology for Trainers; and e-Learning designer and developer
