Book description
E-Learning by Design
provides a comprehensive, detailed look at the concepts and processes
of developing, creating and implementing a successful e-Learning
program. Horton's practical, down-to-earth approach offers clear

to build customized e-Learning programs from scratch, building on core
principles of instructional design to:
• develop meaningful
activities and lessons

• design learning games and simulations, and
• effectively implement an individualized program
The second edition will feature chapter-by-chapter revisions and add
new sections and updates that address: new delivery technologies,
including social networking, mobile learning, and the use of other new
mobile devices; learning from available content; repurposing content;
setting and following quality Standards, a revised Catalyst Model and
Examples, How We Will Learn Model and Examples, and designing for
International and Multi-cultural Audiences, as well as all-new
contemporary case studies, examples, and activities. New edition will
