Im wondering if we should be talking about tiers of instructional design. Today Im feeling more like a hazy purple.

Monday, January 19, 2009 Instructional Design: Whats in a name? IDs have told me in the past that its not right to allow just anyone to design, build and sell training without the help of their expertise. And by asking this, Im not suggesting that design isnt important, for it is - its seen by some as part of the pedagogy.

I recommend having a motivating example before you bother showing learners the things theyll be able to do afterwards; if they dont understand why its important, they wont care what they can do.

There are great tools with a short learning curve (for example, Adobe Captivate and Articulate Presenter) and tools with a longer learning curve that are really excellent (for example, Lectora, and Flashform). There seems to be a mix between contract and full time positions, and Im not sure how to read into that.
