Does your online instruction program sometimes feel like a constant scramble to keep pace with requests and deadlines? Modular design is the answer. Approaching projects, whether large and small, with an eye towards future uses will put you on the path to accomplishing broader, organizational goals. And by intentionally building documentation and structure into your process, you will create content that can easily be scaled, modified, adapted, and transformed to meet different learner needs. Hess, experienced in online instruction in both K-12 and academic libraries, shows you how, using project examples of various sizes to illustrate each chapter's concepts. Her resource guides you through such topics as

  • the eight components of modular online learning design;
  • key considerations for choosing the design model that best fits your organization and project;
  • techniques for connecting your online learning goals with institutional strategy;
  • using the IDEA process to align OER content with your instructional needs;
  • documenting your planning with checklists, scaffolds, and templates;
  • ensuring equity of access with all content formats using the Accessibility Inventory Index;
  • principles for scaling up, down, or laterally;
  • three models for more meaningful and functional collaboration with internal or external partners; and
  • formative testing as a foundation for ongoing evaluation and assessment.

        Now more than ever, instructional design is a topic of conversation among educators in all levels and settings, including librarians who provide online learning content, from classroom teaching and instruction, to videos, research guides, and self-paced learning modules. Hess (e-learning, instructional technology, education librarian, Oakland Univ.; Transforming Academic Library Instruction) discusses creating content that can be easily "reused, scaled, modified, adapted, and transformed." She describes modular design concepts and includes practical examples on small, medium, and large scales that let readers put theory into instructional context. Each chapter guides readers through practices such as identifying stakeholders and partners and ensuring that content is accessible to all users. Handy charts, checklists, and workflow models round out each chapter, and the comprehensive bibliography and index will be helpful. Although this book can be read sequentially, it will be equally useful as a point-of-need resource. VERDICT Emphasizing flexibility and functionality, Hess's book will aid librarians who want to save time and energy when creating online learning content.--Elizabeth Berndt-Morris, Loeb Music Lib., Harvard Univ., Cambridge, MA
