In addition, we will be reading Clark Aldrich's book, Designing Sims the Clark Aldrich way.

Aldrich's work has been featured in hundreds of sources, including CBS, ABC, The New York Times, Associated Press, Chicago Tribune, Wall Street Journal, CNN, NPR, CNET, Business 2.0, BusinessWeek, and U.S. News and World Reports.
Previously, Aldrich was the founder and former director of research for Gartner’s e-learning coverage. He graduated from Brown University with a degree in Cognitive Science, and earlier in his career worked on special projects for Xerox's executive team.
