Producing Instructional Systems

First Published in 1986. This two-volume work on the development of instruction is planned as a companion to an earlier book- Designing Instructional Systems. This earlier book dealt with the decision-making process involved in overall course planning and curriculum design. The present continues on to the micro-design stages of lesson and instructional materials development. The work is divided into two volumes. Volume 1 Producing Instructional Systems deals with lesson planning for individualised instruction in the conventional classroom environment as well as planning of all group learning situations simulations and games. Volume 2 Developing Auto-Instructional Materials deals with the development of many different types of materials including programmed instruction structural communication various styles of structured writing audio and audio-visual instruction and the many types of computer-based materials now being introduced in both education and training. Taken together these two volumes give extensive coverage of practical techniques for the development of instruction.
