In this essential and practical, resources-packed guidebook uncovering four Instructional Design competencies that are the crux of ID, Susan Nelson Spencer offers her expertise with intellectual humility. Highlighting the importance of teaching, writing, creativity, and communication, Susan’s use cases are definitely a must-read for any instructional designer starting in this field. Through her real-life examples, step by step, she helps you think through problems and possible solutions and shares the outcomes and lessons learned.As you read the book, you can’t help but notice that this type of content is typically unavailable in books and can mainly be accessed when you have a mentor or coach in the industry. You genuinely feel as though she is having a one-on-one coaching session with you - what a treat!The bonus: Tons of resources, including links to articles, videos, assessments, templates, and practical, time-saving pointers that any new ID or one entrenched in the field can add to their toolkit.

Spencer clearly outlines the necessities needed to be a succesful ID in their book. It's a clear and concise read , full of right to the point advice and direction within the ID world. Her teaching, ID experience, and generosity of information show! Fantastic advice for newbies and for seasoned pros it's a great review tool.

This book offers a fantastic overview of the core competencies needed in any instructional design role. I appreciate that Susan Nelson Spencer left out much of the fluff and got straight to the point while providing case studies, exercises, and many resources. I found Susan’s writing easy to read, engaging, and encouraging. She gives a lot of actionable recommendations and reflection prompts throughout. “Next-Level Instructional Design” is a small but mighty companion for anyone new to ID, considering a career change, or wanting to be more effective in their current role. However, experienced designers and trainers will also find pearls throughout!

Next-Level Instructional Design provides a enlightening tour of the skills needed to enter the field as well as improve for those already in practice. It covers basic core competencies spanning teaching, writing, creative thinking as well as conveying content. The author presents the details in a easy-flowing, readily digestible format which is not at all tedious to read. The book gets into many technical concepts such as understanding and using various learning models to best present content to learners. As someone relatively new to I.D, I found it full of useful tidbits from choosing your target audience, to leveraging humor, to even insights on avoiding procrastination… If you are thinking to make the jump or as the title suggests, improve your game, I highly recommend…!

Amazon Customer Jun 11, 2023

I found myself nodding along to several sections in this book that reflected similar struggles I have encountered while working in the instructional design field. One passage in particular felt extremely familiar: Don't skip the project setup meeting. Assuming that stakeholders will behave in the same way due to them working in the same organization definitely lends itself to scope creep, which was identified in Spencer's book, along with ways to prevent it in the future. A must read for anyone looking to break into instructional design or improve their current skill set.
