William J. Rothwell Books

Over the past fifteen years, this book has established itself as a classic in instructional design, offering professionals, trainers, and students a comprehensive guide through the entire instructional design process. Significant changes in the field over the last two decades necessitated an updated approach, which this third edition provides by incorporating the latest IBSTPI standards. The revised competencies focus on foundational design principles, planning and analysis, design development, and management skills, catering to both novice and expert professionals and validated by a diverse national and international audience. This edition also explores contemporary trends and challenges such as emerging technologies, rapid market changes, outsourcing, knowledge capital, and the impacts of globalization and diversity on instructional design. Rich with case examples from various workplace environments, it equips readers with the necessary information, advice, and tools to modernize their training and development functions.

Updated and expanded to reflect the latest trends and best practices, a guide to succession management contains 20 percent new material, including chapters on recruitment and retention, as well as updated references and research, in a book that includes a CD-ROM filled with worksheets and assessment tools.
