Summary "Instructional Design details the findings of John Sweller and his research team, who have used cognitive principles and a large range of experiments to devise a variety of instructional designs. Their recommendations are based on twenty years of objective published research. Although the program focused on technical subjects - such as mathematics, science and technology education - the findings can be easily applied to a range of language-based, non-technical areas."--BOOK JACKET
