Jam-packed with valuable instructions and resources
Two thumbs up for this guide. I've been struggling to find a book that could help me to put together an on-line video course that would be easy to understand and informative to offer the guidance I needed to structure a meaningful training course. Most of them out there are too wordy or contain a lot of fluff. This exceeded my expectations and "over-delivered" in many ways. The author writes instructional materials as an occupation and has a knack for explaining things in a concise and effective manner. She offers great advice,guidance and resources that are very usable. If you're thinking about doing an on-line course, do yourself a favor and get this book. It inspired me to start on mine after I read it because I felt more prepared. I recommend it highly.

A Frank, No-Frills Guide
Shillington’s book is a straightforward, no-nonsense guide to online course design. If you’re expecting first-person tales from the e-learning trenches or meandering case studies, you won’t find them in this book. Similarly, if you're looking for a re-purposed academic dissertation, you won't find it here. This volume is for the course designer unafraid of getting his or her hair mussed, so bring your lunchbox. It's practical, helpful material presented at sea level, not 30,000 feet like many books dealing with e-learning. That said, I would like to have seen a chapter dedicated to Professional Learning Communities (PLCs), a peripheral collaboration framework that operates in tandem with online learning. Maybe in a future edition. All in all, Shillington has delivered. It's a solid beacon for anyone, especially a beginner, grappling with the challenges of online course design.

Very Helpful!
The author's informative style kept the content moving at a comfortable pace. She presented the information in a clear and cogent manner that provided solutions to the problems I've been facing. I found the content very useful and plan to use the book as a reference while writing courses for my program.

Course design from a professional!
So many "online" experts have a thin resume. Sandra Shillington shares her professional background and experience in a solid guide to traditional course design that has also been expanded to include online learning. Read this with a highlighter and take notes!

One of the best on the subject.
I’ve been studying in preparation to launch my course for some time, but even so got some great advice I hadn’t seen before. I mostly read on Kindle Unlimited, but will be buying a separate copy for myself!
