Story
I've been teaching technical topics to adults for more than two decades, and I've been writing and designing instructional materials for almost that long. Throughout the time, I always tried to learn more about how people learn, and how I could be a better and more effective teacher. It wasn't always easy, because apart from a great deal of trial-and-error, there weren't a lot of resources that I could comprehend or make use of. Too many books are either written by academics for academics, or by academics - in the most condescending tones possible - for mere mortals. Well, this is the book ...

A wealth of information for course creators!
I've created a handful of courses over the years. I don't have formal training in adult education. I've found myself frustrated by students purchasing material and not taking action. I knew I could build my materials in a manner better suited for their needs. I'm so glad I have this audible a listen. Due to my beginner status, I'll need to give it a listen in a more focused way and on repeat as there is a ton of value packed in here. I think this listen is also excellent for individuals with some training on this topic as advanced tips are covered. A must-listen if you truly want to create material individuals with engage with and benefit from.

Concise, practical overview
This was very helpful as a broad overview of the complete instructional design process. While it avoided going deep, the references and resources (especially various frameworks) were very helpful and easy to follow up on. I liked it so much I ordered a print copy for easy future reference.
