EME 6507 Fall 2017
This is a compliation of some resources that I have found the most helpful during this master's program. I have provided a selection of favorite textbooks, resource pages, articles, and videos that have helped me learn the instructional design process and how to utilize multimedia technologies available for education.
The Instructional Design Process
Textbooks
This book was the first one I read when starting this program, and I really enjoyed the accessible structure and language. It immediately helped me understand the verious stages of instructional design and the interdependent relationship betwen each stage.
Dick, W., Carey, L., & Carey, J. O. (2015). The Systematic Design of Instruction (8th ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Pearson.
Before reading this book I was afraid it would be too outdated, being published in 1987. I found it to be a very apt, however, providing a lot of personal accounts and scenarious without being too wordy or over-technical in writing.
Rossett, A, (1987). Training Needs Assessment. Englewood, CA: Educational Technology Publications.
Resources Page: Grounded Strategies
This is a resource page that was part of the EME 6613 course written by Dr. 2C (as he likes to be called!). He authored this compilation of research-based theories and applications that has been so impactful or instructional designers that he was invited to speak about it at a educational meeting in Guadalajara, Mexico. I have referenced this material several times myself when compelting coursework.

Instructional Video: The SAM Model
This video was very helpful for understanding the differences in ADDIE and SAM. Traditional coursework emphasizes the ADDIE model, but I have noticed in ID job postings that a lot of companies want knowledge of the SAM process as well. I found this video a well-written, novice-friendly place to start building that understanding.

Using Multimedia in Instructional Design
Textbooks
This book is an easy-to-follow guide for someone learning basic multimedia design principles. It is well-written in user-friendly language, but still supplies ample information about the neurological processes to consider when designing with multimedia.
Mayer, R.E. (2009). Multimedia Learning (2nd Ed.). New York, NY: Cambridge University.
Academic Article: Using the ASSURE model in K-12
This article was useful to me this semester when trying to learn more about the ASSURE model in lower education. The textbook information about the ASSURE model was helpful, but written more from the perspective of higher education and adult learning.
Kim, D & Downey, S. (2016). Examining the use of the ASSURE model by K–12 teachers. Computers in the Schools. 33(3), 153-168. https://doi.org/10.1080/07380569.2016.1203208
Resources Page: Multimedia Authoring Resources
This is another professor-created resource list that I have gone back to reference several times. It is a compilation of mostly-free resources available for web authoring, audio editing, video editing, and image editing. There are also suggested resources or videos for deeper learning about these topics.

Ted Talk: Death by PowerPoint
A very entertaining video about a very serious problem! It is short but this 20 minutes will change how you design and plan to present a PowerPoint for the rest of your life!
