Review:

This book is better suited for thos who actually develop courseware because it places much more emphasis on learning theories and introduces the authors' version of the ISD (intructional system design) process for online learning: ASSIST. (Technical Communication Quarterly)

The authors place considerable emphasis on problem solving and building online communities...A useful starting point. Recommended. (CHOICE)
