Developing Auto-instructional Materials

By Romiszowski, A.J. Copyright 1986

    This two-volume work on the development of instruction is planned as a companion to an earlier book - Designing Instructional Systems. The present work continues the micro-design stages of lesson and instructional materials development. Taken together, these two volumes give extensive coverage of practical techniques for the development of instruction. This title draws a distinction between instructional design and instructional development, although some authors seem to use the two terms synonymously. The structure of the content will enable the two volumes to be used conveniently as both initial reading or later reference material.
