"Write and Organize for Deeper Learning:
28 Evidence-Based
and Easy-to-apply Tactics
That Will Make Your
Instruction Better
for Learning"
By Patti Shank, Ph.D
"As a career trainer and instructional designer, I found Patti Shank’s Write and Organize for Deeper Learning fascinating! I’ve cobbled my knowledge of good design from years of experience and believed I was doing the best I could. I was wrong! The strategies and tactics here did two things: confirmed what I thought was right so I can keep doing it, and helped me correct and improve. I recommend Patti Shank’s Write and Organize for Deeper Learning for instructional writers, trainers and anyone who wants to teach for understanding. My writing is already clearer."
