Ten Steps to Complex Learning cover

Ten Steps to Complex Learning presents a path from an educational problem to a solution in a way that students, practitioners, and researchers can understand and easily use. Students in the field of instructional design can use this book to broaden their knowledge of the design of training programs for complex learning. Practitioners can use this book as a reference guide to support their design of courses, curricula, or environments for complex learning.

Now fully revised to incorporate the most current research in the field, this third edition of Ten Steps to Complex Learning includes many references to recent research as well as two new chapters. One new chapter deals with the training of 21st-century skills in educational programs based on the Ten Steps. The other deals with the design of assessment programs that are fully aligned with the Ten Steps. In the closing chapter, new directions for the further development of the Ten Steps are discussed.

"There are many books on instructional design and many books on learning theory and human cognition. There are very few that adequately discuss both human cognitive processes and the instructional design principles that flow from our knowledge of cognition. This book manages the regretfully rare feat of intelligently describing both processes. It should be read by everyone interested in instructional procedures. If we can convince educators to follow the ten steps, both they and their students will have their working lives enhanced."

—John Sweller, Emeritus Professor of Educational Psychology in the School of Education at the University of New South Wales, Australia
