This superb resource will quickly become the reference for LCTL instructors and for professional development activities worldwide."?Koen Van Gorp, assistant professor and LCTL coordinator, Michigan State University, "From conducting needs assessments to publishing instructional materials, Özçelik and Kennedy Kent have written a clear and concise manual for LCTL teachers who want to create effective teaching materials following a research-based and classroom-tested instructional design model.
