Recensioner i media

The Guide is well researched with a good balance of notes and further reading that a keen reader can use for a deeper dive into individual theories. Readers short on time will, however, gain a rapid understanding of common learning theories with practical perspectives for libraries. The practical elements are engaging and the instructional design knowledge and experience of Medaille shines through. The Guide can be read cover to cover for a broad overview, or readers can read specific chapters of interest. This is an enjoyable read and a useful addition to any teaching library worker’s collection.
