Reigeluth, Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, Publishers, 1983. [I ordered it used a few weeks ago. When I opened the package on Friday, the nostalgic aroma of the library stacks hit me. Oh how I love the smell of books!

As a 9-year old kid, did you think, “I wanna be a firefighter, a doctor, a teacher…or maybe…an instructional designer!” I suspect that few of those who now practice the fine art and science of instructional design, started off early in life with that vision.

When Karl Kapp invited me to join the blog book tour for Learning in 3D, he dangled a little carrot in front of me. Apparently, I make a cameo appearance. So I am reading this book as a scavenger hunt (leave it to Karl to turn it into a game!)…my narcissistic antennae all aquiver.
