Creating high-quality online courses involves more than writing objectives and content alignment. Instructional designers (IDs) must also learn to navigate the higher education landscape and build mutually respectful, collaborative relationships with faculty. The Learner-Centered Instructional Designer introduces the reader to multiple mentors who have mastered these challenges and come out the other side with concrete, practical advice. It serves as an excellent resource for IDs new to higher education. --Andrea Gregg, Director of Online Pedagogy and Credentialing; Assistant Teaching Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering The Pennsylvania State University The Learner-Centered Instructional Designer is the book I needed in my hands when I started in higher education instructional design. Quinn and colleagues have crafted a practical, affirming, and empowering book that will shape your practice and be a mainstay on your reading list. This book centers design practice on the things that matter most for instructional designers: collaboration, intentionality, and relationships. Every early career designer and design student should own this book. --Jason Drysdale, Director of Instructional Design & Program Development University of Colorado The importance of excellent online education--And of well-equipped instructional designers--has never been clearer. The Learner-Centered Instructional Designer provides a guidebook for new designers navigating a complex role as guide, learner advocate, and design partner. Full of practical and immediately applicable strategies, each chapter puts the learner at the center, focusing on everything from productive consultations, skill-building, and key frameworks for learning and teaching, as well as ideas for further reading and professional development. --Deandra Little, assistant provost & director, Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning; professor of English Elon University
