Im struck by why I find this topic so interesting. Learning Styles and Fortune Telling: We like learning styles because we get a flash of recognition ; we see ourself as a pattern.

I think Im somewhat of an anomaly in the field. Maybe Im not an instructional designer at all. Christy uses HTML, Dreamweaver, and sess Flash in her future.

This hasnt gotten onto my radar before -- Im not sure if there are any state-funded online programs in Massachusetts. Within higher ed, Im sure well continue to see growth in online, but it is starting to plateau a bit.
