Ensure Your Instructional Design Stands Up to Learning Science
Learning science is a professional imperative for instructional designers. In fact, instructional design is applied learning science. To create effective learning experiences that engage, we need to know how learning works and what facilitates and hinders it. We need to track the underlying research and articulate how our designs reflect what is known. Otherwise, how can we claim to be scrutable in our approaches?

Learning Science for Instructional Designers: From Cognition to Application distills the current scope of learning science into an easy-to-read primer.

Good instructional design makes learning as simple as possible by removing distractions, minimizing the cognitive load, and chunking necessary information into digestible bits. But our aim must go beyond enabling learners to recite facts to empowering them to make better decisions—decisions about what to do, when, and how. This book prepares you to design learning experiences that ensure retention over time and transfer to the appropriate situations.

Gain insights into:

  • Providing spaced practice and reflection
  • Tapping into motivation and challenge to build learner confidence
  • Using performance-support tools, social learning, and humor appropriately

    Prompts at the end of each chapter will spark your thinking about how to use these concepts and more in your daily work.

    Written by Clark N. Quinn, author of     Millennials, Goldfish & Other Training Misconceptions: Debunking Learning Myths and Superstitions, this book is perfect for anyone who strives for their instruction to stand up to learning science.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Clark Quinn's new book offers compelling reasons for using learning science to inform your practice. The structure of the book follows an ingenious path from the whys (how we process and store information) to the hows. Learning Science for Instructional Designers is concise, understandable, and exceedingly valuable. --Patti Shank, Learning Science Researcher, Author, and Facilitator

Clark Quinn paints a holistic, nuanced picture of the learning sciences landscape with all its cognitive, affective, and meta-cognitive hues. This book is a must-have for anyone involved in learning experience design as it shows why and how to consider the whole picture, helping you improve your daily practice by simply using the clear, practical 'learnings' throughout the book. --Mirjam Neelen, Head, Global Learning Design and Learning Sciences at a global healthcare company, and Co-Author, Evidence-Informed Learning Design

Clark Quinn's book Learning Science for Instructional Designers is a delicious and irresistible box of chocolates for all who want to architect effective learning. Focused on the practical and covering an amazing breadth of science, this well-crafted book whizzes by delightfully, from one choice nougat to the next. The perfect pocket-sized guide to learning science! --Will Thalheimer, Research-Inspired Learning Consultant

The content of this book is great, no qualms there. The problem I’m having is the font is SO small. I have great vision and I’m seriously struggling with why the publisher would choose what appears to be a 10 point font.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good primer for new instructional designers
Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2021
Verified Purchase
As a long-time veteran of instructional design, I found this book a good recap, a condensed version of a lot of great research and insights into how to design well. If I had to teach new instructional designers what to do, this would be a handbook to provide guidance. I suggest reading it, starting it with its highlighted sections first, then go back and read deeper. I'd also advise that it would be great to pair with examples of good and bad instructional design. I'd forgotten how much I've learned in this field over nearly 35 years, and the author references and builds on many of the great influencers form the field.
