About ISD From The Ground Up: A No-Nonsense Approach To
Review “ISD From the Ground Up is a foundational book and methodology our training teams use to meet the unique and varied learning needs of the military and their families through our Department of Defense contracts. Using this book has resulted in a significant, positive impact on the readiness of our military by providing a critical resource to our instructional designers and trainers.” —Suzanne Tofalo Senior Learning Manager, Zeiders Enterprises “As someone who often coaches trainers to deliver training developed by others, I wish more ISDs would follow Chuck Hodell’s clear and specific recommendations for sound (and practical) design. ISD From the Ground Up is a useful how-to and a just-in-time job aid. It should be on every talent development professional’s bookshelf.” —Greg Owen-Boger Vice President, Turpin Communication Co-Author, The Orderly Conversation: Business Presentations Redefined “ISD From the Ground Up is a practical, user-friendly book that allows readers to immediately learn and apply the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively design instruction for others. It is rare to find such an interdisciplinary text that anyone—from engineers and mechanics to educators and online course designers—can use.” —Erica Boling Associate Professor, Graduate School of Education, Rutgers University “ISD From the Ground Up is perfect for professionals designing training programs. Chuck Hodell’s practical, no-nonsense presentation of ISD fundamentals, such as the ADDIE model and Gagné’s Nine Events of Instruction, has helped me guide both novice and experienced international trainers as they improve their instructional design for a variety of contexts.” —Joan Kang Shin Director, TESOL Professional Training Programs, University of Maryland, Baltimore County “ISD From the Ground Up is my go-to book whenever I need design help. The dog-eared corners, underlining, and comments in the margins are proof of that!” —Julie Gaver Owner, Julie Gaver Training & Development Product Description Don’t leave course design to trial and error.

Prior to the 2000 publication of ISD From the Ground Up, it certainly appeared that way to instructional designers just learning the ropes. Chuck Hodell set out to change that.

His definitive guide is an industry staple currently found on the bookshelves of experienced instructional designers and university students alike.This updated fourth edition covers all the basics and many advanced tenets important to working professionals, especially those entering the field. Stand-alone chapters offer crucial support to practitioners building foundational skills, while in-depth tutorials and rich insights guide the credentialed designer. At a time when skillful curriculum development is valued more than ever, ISD From the Ground Up offers a refresher on objectives, design plans, lesson plans, and even what it takes to facilitate a focus group. Updated with new chapters and an expanded glossary of terms, it delves into skills and practices essential to the success of today’s in-demand curriculum developer.
