Instructional Design and Rapid Prototyping: Rising from the Ashes of ADDIE

Dashe & Thomson

Tom Gram, one of my favorite bloggers, a few years ago responded to the hue and cry about ADDIE’s demise in the field of instructional design. In ADDIE is DEAD! Long Live ADDIE! , he talked about the love/hate relationship that many instructional designers and eLearning developers have had with ADDIE as they tried to keep up with business demands for speed and quality and as they observe process innovations such as rapid application development and iterative prototyping.

Is it a Classroom or a Prison? Some Common Sense on Measuring Training Effectiveness

Mindflash

Measuring L&D drives me a bit bonkers, because it’s so often poorly done. It’s not that I hate numbers. It’s not that I’m afraid that my program will be proved to be a disaster.

Until then, there are some very practical ways to test if your program is doing well.

Learning with e's

The space in which a child learns is important. If a school gets it wrong, learning can be constrained or even completely stifled.

TITHING FOR TEACHERS: FOR A LEGACY OF EXCELLENCE, A LIFETIME OF TANGIBLE THANKS

Wonderful Brain

This is National Teacher Appreciation Week, an opportunity to celebrate great teachers. While attention is focused let me float an outrageous idea. Though I don’t have the workings of this proposal completely flushed out I hope to instigate a dialogue and let you continue the conversation. I believe teachers are underpaid. And underappreciated.
