The Decisive Writer: Custom College Textbook
Creating a custom textbook involves melding an established textbook with a course instructor’s syllabus and objectives. I match the individual course objectives with the pre-existing content. This creates a textbook that is customized to the course content and in order of the instructor’s lesson plans. Custom textbooks are proof of both the quality of the core textbook and the ability of an instructional designer to become a Subject Matter Expert (SME).
Writing is obviously a subject I enjoy, so putting together this book came naturally. In this case, I worked with The Decisive Writer and its author, Kathryn Raign, to create the custom textbook. Kathryn provided 30+ Learning Outcomes which I used to align the content and craft 10 chapters worth of quiz questions (three samples below). To complete this package, I selected useful multimedia to match and enhance the core content.
