“This book makes a clear appeal to the role of the educational technologies in learning institutions instead of addressing the ambiguous roles instructional designers often assume. This educational technology book is a strong classroom text and an indispensable reference for the educational technologist.” (Jennifer L. Culbertson and Craig D. Howard, TechTrends, Vol. 64, 2020)
