Summary: Mager - Forget the Complexity - Here is How You Make It Work
Review: If your mission is instruction, your companion should be the Mager Six Pack. Mager's approach to instruction is concise, practical, example-oriented, practice-centered, and mastery-certified. If you care about the learner and you care about effective training, this set of books will help you dispell the myths, end the wasted time, identify the problems, and find the solutions. No fancy words, no difficult concepts, no hidden agendas, and no advanced degrees are required. Just pay close attention to the common sense approaches Dr. Mager offers, and you will be a better instructional designer and your students will be more successful learners. Especially useful are the three core books on Analyzing Performance Problems, Preparing Instructional Objectives, and Measuring Instructional Results. These should be on every instructional designer's shelf.

Summary: A six-pack that quenched my thirst--not a lite book.
Review: Imagine a "6-pack" sitting on my desk untouched for almost three years! No, not beer, these are six Learning & Development books written by the L&D guru, Robert Mager. I had a formal Needs Analysis to conduct and needed a quick refresher (a shot of help). And not the swill that many training books provide that leave you parched, thirsting for more. I tapped into the 6-pack and cracked open the first book "Analyzing Performance Problems, or you Really Oughta Wanna" and began to drink in the information. I need models to follow and Mager provides actual flow charts with appropriate questions to ask. These helped guide me in formulating a Needs Analysis. (Truth be told, they worked pretty well with this metaphor too!)In the end, I conducted the Needs Analysis and received feedback that the questions were "sober", "on target", and not at all "canned". These books provide genuine guidelines (not draft or lite versions) on creating needs analyses, learning objectives, and measurement tools. They are fun-to-read, easy to understand, and are full of real-life examples. Each volume is $19.95, and the cost for the "6-Pack" is $95. 1. Analyzing Performance Problems, or you Really Oughta Wanna 2. Developing an Attitude Toward Learning, or SMATs `n' SMUTS 3. Preparing Instructional Objectives 4. Making Instruction Work 5. Measuring Instructional Results, or Got a Match? 6. Goal Analysis
