First, I would like to preface this review by noting that I reached out to Dr. Hobson via LinkedIn a few weeks ago, asking for advice on how to move forward in the field of Instructional Design (ID) and Educational Technology (EdTech) after recently attaining an M.Ed. in ID and Tech. Not only was he very quick to respond, but his first advice was not to promote his own book. Instead, he pointed me towards free options and current literature within the field. It wasn’t until later that I found his book and listened to it, not once, but twice. The book may appear relatively short in length for an audiobook, but it is so chock-full of information that I had to re-listen to it to take notes, which I will definitely be incorporating into my own plans as I transition into the field of EdTech. His advice covers the gambit of ID and EdTech from a general overview of what an ID could encounter in the real world, both good and bad, to recommendations for quality graduate programs, free online resources, and people to follow/connect with on social media.

So, you may be wondering why the 4-star rating on performance? Well, there are a few minor errors in the recording. This did detract slightly from the overall performance, as I found myself having to stop and backup to ensure I didn’t miss something in the recording. Still, the content (story) gets 5 stars, all day long. The information is condensed to only the essentials, the super-nitro-cold brew of ID, if you will. To anyone who wishes to continue their lifelong ID learning journey, I would highly recommend it!

A Wonderful Intro into ID and Something I wish I’d Read Earlier!

I'm so glad Dr. Hobson narrated the audiobook version. It made it feel like he was talking to you directly over a shared coffee meet. Very conversational vs. formal. Best audiobook reading I've heard yet! The content was very interesting and engaging. I'll admit, being one who doesn't know a whole lot of Hobson's teachings, I didn't know what to expect. I am a fairly new ID, who already experienced many, if not all, of the topics he shared about in the book. That's what made it so personal and relatable. There aren't many, if any, books on the ID experience, making this the book to get when you want to hear from someone else who " gets it." This is a sweet little gem that I will highly recommend to any ID in whatever stage you are currently in. Aspiring ID'S will get a very thorough understanding of what the field is about. Experienced ID'S will have a few nuggets to take away, and also the relatable stories- so valuable for ID'S who are a one person team in their organization! I'm definitely reading again!

5 Stars!

Dr. Hobson wrote a well-organized book on this thing called Instructional design. Many books in this field feels stiff and overly technical without considering what real world ID is. Hobson breaks down the collective of ID and introduces complex concepts in an approachable way. I’ve enjoyed reading and listening to this book. Highly recommended.

I am an educator at a secondary school and I am looking to change careers to instructional design. I want to work in the corporate instructional design and I thought that this book might have some insights for that. It does, but it is primarily about instructional design in the higher education field.

This just means that if I want to learn more about corporate instructional design I will have to read other material about it and experiment with real life practical activities.

I do recommend this book for anyone who is interested in becoming an instructional designer regardless of whether that is for higher education or the corporate field.
