This handbook can be described as incorporating the basic knowledge base required to design courses or curriculums. It is designed for those individuals who are pursuing additional knowledge in instructional design, or curriculum design, for those who instruct in the classroom or online, or for those who supervise others who design courses or instruct. The fundamental concepts and content do not change dramatically year to year; thus, the recent information on new theories and ID models are enumerated in the classroom. This book becomes the down and dirty essential information one will need to build upon from the classroom. The content included in this handbook serves as the only information required to become an entry-level designer.
