Most e-learning is designed using instructional model that were first introduced more than thirty years ago as a solution to classroom training, In this must-have book, Allen reviews the basics of instructional design and then lifts the lid on some common misconceptions that arise from what people think they know about ISD.

The ADDIE (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation) process remains the dominant instructional model. Yet, it is not the optimal process for the design of e-learning. It neither takes advantage of the technology underlying e-learning nor produces the kind of creative and effective learning experiences we need.
