When Karl Kapp invited me to join the blog book tour for Learning in 3D, he dangled a little carrot in front of me. So I am reading this book as a scavenger hunt (leave it to Karl to turn it into a game!)…my It’s Not About Instructional Design… The book is chock full of background, blueprints and case studies.

During the tour, the book, in Kindle form, reached all the way to #15,329 out of 400,000 books available on Kindle. Pretty good for a non-fiction book about learning in 3D! Here is a review of the stops on the tour.

Then we'll know."
