Your one-instructional-design-fits-all solution!
Most training companies develop their training programs in many different technological delivery media, including computer-based, web-based, and distance learning technologies. This unique book demonstrates that the same instructional design process can be used for all media. Using just one process reduces cycle time for course development-and also reduces costs.
Multimedia-Based Instructional Design will provide you with:
A process that applies across-the-board to technology-based training of all kinds A hands-on guide to a method of design that is accessible to professionals at all levels of technical expertise A CD-ROM that includes job aids, tools, and worksheets that you can customize for your own use No more going back to the drawing board every time a new medium is introduced. Once you have this design process in place, you’ll have the freedom to choose the delivery method that works best for you!

Description:
Prior studies have suggested that a good Website design which facilitates a user’s Web browsing behaviour would generally lead to better user performance. In this research, we examine user Website behaviour as a way to understand Website design using a ”think aloud” protocol analysis. Main theoretical contributions of this research are the illustration of the flow of cognitive processes during the Website browsing and the establishment of Website design dimensions – the meaning and content implied by Website content, its outward form, and the structure and navigation – in relation to user performance.

Content preparation is an integral part of the usability equation: it answers the question of what information is needed for effective decision making. Once content preparation has been established, the question “how to present what” can be answered. Content Preparation Guidelines for the Web and Information Appliances: Cross-Cultural Comparisons provides a theoretical foundation and operational tools to effectively prepare content so that users are able to make correct decisions regarding the purchase of goods and services.
Traditionally, human aspects of computing have been assessed by usability evaluation methods, which determine how well the system is designed for joyful, satisfying, and productive use. But, effectively designing the how without providing a solid foundation for designing the what can not result in effective web and information appliance-based operations. This book presents a review and reappraisal of the science base of content preparation and descriptions of four major studies on content preparation involving more than 1,200 participants. Based on these studies, it establishes a factor structure of content preparation and relative importance of each factor in effective decision making and concludes with guidelines for the design of content for a variety of populations.
Unlike previous publications in usability that have predominantly concentrated on how to present information, this book focuses on what information should be presented and the information appliances for different cultures. With a cross-cultural comparison and a review of fundamental theories, the book not only answers the question of what information needs to be presented for effective decision making, but also addresses the impact of culture on content usability.
