Designing eLearning That Works

Designing eLearning That Works bridges the gap between learning theory and real-world instructional design.
Whether you build courses, lead L&D teams, or teach online, this book guides you through every stage of creating digital learning that actually changes performance.

Drawing from decades of research and modern practice, Joshua M. Sutton blends cognitive psychology, design thinking, and educational technology into one practical, comprehensive guide.

You'll move beyond the "how-to" of eLearning content creation and into the why; the principles that make learning measurable, inclusive, and meaningful.

Inside, you'll find:

• Step-by-step guidance through the ADDIE process, from needs analysis to evaluation.

• Evidence-based strategies for engagement, motivation, and retention.

• Frameworks for eLearning experience architecture, multimedia design, and storytelling.

• Checklists, models, and templates for applied practice.

• Insights on digital learning paths, accessibility, and ethical design.

• A forward-looking view of AI, analytics, and the future of eLearning ecosystems.

Whether you're a corporate trainer, instructional designer, educator, or L&D leader, Designing eLearning That Works will help you create eLearning that doesn't just inform, it transforms.

Because effective eLearning isn't built, it's designed.
