    This book is a disappointment. The actual content is slim. The book has lots of white space, lots of self tests for readers, lots of blank charts for the reader to fill in as he or she plans a course, lots of bulleted “to do” lists. But it provides virtually no supporting information for any of its points or suggestions and offers no sense that Dl is actually a pretty complicated subject. In addition, it offers no references, bibliographical material, or any other support for the readers’ continued learning.

    This book may be useful as a workbook for those who need to thoroughly outline a project they’re doing(if they already know something about Web-Based Training). Better yet, teachers of WBT/CBT or Instructional Design might use it as a workbook for student projects. It is not, however, a good place to learn about WBT–not on its’ own. A more comprehensive primary text is a necessity.

    Here is the entire book, quickly summed up:

    * Fill in these many, many “worksheet pages” * Work with experienced persons to get experience * Fill out some more checklist worksheets * Thanks for your money

    PLEASE do yourself a favor, and get a WBT book in which the author acutally is a Subject Matter Expert, and not someone out to take your money and provide obvious advice.
