Rapid Instructional Design (George Piskurich)

I recently purchased the Rapid Instructional Design book by George Piskurich.  My interest was piqued, because I think that efficiency is an important training goal that is often overlooked by instructional designers.  I was looking for a reference work on instructional design that I could use as a desk reference.  After completing my first graduate level instructional design course, I have a great reading list of weighty ID articles regarding Behaviorism, Edgar Dale's cone of Experience, and Robert Gagne's events of instruction.  What I wanted was a short, practical desk reference where I could pick up even more tips that would help me in my quest to be a better Instructional Designer.

This is a great book for someone with a similar need.  There are a ton of Job Aids that instructional designers can use as a spring board of ideas to quickly complete ID tasks.  And unlike most Job Aids, you know that they are well written, for they were written by an Instructional Designer :)

I have enjoyed this book so much I have stayed up very late lately reading it.  If you are looking for a handy instructional design reference, and you do not already have this book, pick it up!!
