The design of information literacy instruction and the building of it are two distinct skillsets and processes; yet all too often everything gets mashed together, creating needless confusion and stress. In this book Turnbow, an instructional designer, and Roth, an instructional technologist, suggest a better way to organize the work. They shed light on the people, processes, and resources required to create a sustainable portfolio of online instruction. With the goal of fostering conversations in your library about the most streamlined and effective ways to get the work done, they provide guidance on such topics as

  • design and development processes, complete with "I.D. in Action" examples and sample design documents;
  • thumbnail descriptions of ADDIE, SAM, and design thinking methods;
  • creating learning objects;
  • types of software tools and how to evaluate them;
  • crafting the best documentation of your work for efficient maintenance and reuse;
  • adapting assessment to your learning outcomes and purpose;
  • when to design for performance support, an underutilized method in libraries; and
  • starting points for those interested in developing instructional design and development skills.
  • Demystifying the instructional design and development process used to create online learning objects, this book will help you understand how instructional design principles and approaches can benefit your learners.

        Starred review from April 1, 2020

        Instructional design isn't a new concept for academic libraries; however, not all institutions have staff who focus solely on the creation of learning objects and experiences. Turnbow (instructional design coordinator. Univ. of California, San Diego) and Roth (instructional technologies librarian, Univ. of California, San Diego) fill an enormous gap here as they lay out the basics of instructional design work, including popular methods, learning theories, and best practices related to collaboration and workflow. While the title highlights online instruction specifically, colleagues who are primarily teaching in face-to-face settings will also find this volume incredibly helpful. The authors provide examples of instructional design in action from their own experience, and they include forms and documentation that they use to formalize their collaborations and workflows. VERDICT Librarians who lack formal instructional design training but who find themselves tasked with meeting the teaching and learning needs of their campuses will discover an invaluable primer here, as will librarians who have some expertise but have yet to formalize their workflows.--Amanda Folk, Ohio State Univ. Libs., Columbus
