   There is flexibility in the required readings. Several sources can offer the some motivation for discussions and so you have some options.

Required Textbook:
   No textbook is listed as required because the course will not be following a single book. In this course the students will create the curriculum by reading from many sources, discussing the reading and participating in activities which will enhance the discovery of instructional design.
   However, it is strongly advised that the students that students acquire several of the following books in order to successfully complete this course.

   "Designing Effective Instruction" (fifth edition)effecive instructioanl design by Gary R. Morrison, Steven M. Ross, and Jerrold E. Kemp.
   "This book will serve as a guide for this course, defining a model from which other models may be adapted. This book will be the most useful of the recommended textbooks."

   "Trends and Issues in Instructional Design and Technology" ( second edition)trends in ID by Robert A. Reiser and John V. Dempsey.
   "'Trends' offers a look at another model for designing instruction as well as more offereings on the theory of teaching and learning. As well as theory, this book also includes information on the history and the future of instructional design. This book will be used frequently throughout the course."

   "Instructional Technology for Teaching and Learning" (second edition)teaching and learning with technology by Timothy J. Newby, Donald A. Stepich, James D. Lehman and James D. Russell.
   "While Instructional Design evolved with technology and implies the inclusion of computers and multimedia, this book focuses in that direction. This book will be of interest to the technically interested students."

   "The ID Casebook" (third edition)ID casebook by Peggy A. Ertmer and James Quinn.
   "While there are always basics to any topic, there are also exceptions and extremes. This book includes various situations in which instructional designer have found themselves. It's great for discussing the unusual cases."

Other Readings:
   Other readings will be journal articles which may found on the Internet or in the library and will be assigned from time to time. Some of the following reading were found simply by search on Google and some other were found searching through the journals in the library. For the first article I'd recommend to search for something like "designing for the audience."
