Monday, February 04, 2008 The Big Question: Instructional Design as a Spectrum The Learning Circuits Big Question this month: Instructional Design - If, When and How Much? My response here is not so much an answer to this question, but rather, further musings on this endless topic that Ive been rambling on about of late.

The latest Big Questio n on the ASTD Learning Circuits blog is designed to set the agenda for discussion over the coming months. The question is: What issues and trends do you think are having a major impact on the industry—and should be on the hot list for the blog to tackle? Will a two-day course be enough?

This month’s Big Question on the ASTD Learning Circuits Blog asks what software tools, as learning and development professionals, we should set out to learn. In the first instance, some 20 years ago, one of my relatives took a computer appreciation course. In the second instance, a colleague took a course on web design.

I believe if you translate this to e-Learning development, it will change not only the way we create e-Learning courses, but also the courses itself. It lists the short comings of a lot of e-Learning courses in a clear way. A post that I wrote for the ASTD’s big question blog on agile development.

ASTD's Big Question for March is How do we leverage open content in workplace learning? But they are not the only initiative, there is the Open High School of Utah and the Flat World Knowledge project that is focusing on creating open, low cost books and Yale Open courses offers select introductory courses online.

Certainly, some of the questions raised that I remember: What's a learning professional? ASTD - that's an ouch given that's how you define your audience right?) Should we encourage them to blog? If so, how?

This month's ASTD Big Question relates to a person who graduated from a theory-only program in Instructional Design and was not provided with the experience of actually creating instruction using any of the latest tools. My first suggestion is to take an online course that offers hands-on experience using some of the tools.

In order to fully appreciate both of these tools and to assist our team in choosing the right tool when developing their courses, I thought I’d run a little test… I made a small PowerPoint presentation to demonstrate the differences between Lectora and Articulate. They will certainly be able to answer your question in more detail.

Over the past few years, I spend part of December going back through my blog to recap a bit of what some of the key things I’ve learned over the course of the year. And every year I use this as a Big Question – see: Learning 2010. A lot of it is thinking through where my thinking has changed over the course of the year.

The ASTD Learning Circuits Blog (moderated by Tony Karrer) poses a monthly "Big Question" and asks learning professionals to share their insights on key topics. The Big Question for this past December was "What did you learn about learning in 2010?" Why Must So Much Learning Be Force Fed Via Courses?

A SME builds a course with the latest rapid eLearning tool. Is it the number of courses you have created? The quality of those courses? Whether youre a good one or a bad one, of course, is another question entirely. Whether these people are really sure of what they are doing, is a big question mark.

According to the reports there has been a substantial growth in hiring of IT professionals in India related to Oracle, Web-Designing, and other courses.

Brent Schlenker in his response to the ASTD Big Question asks , Well, I think the biggest question is STILL, "Why US?". Maybe the question is "Do we still add value to the new learning equation?

Ive always wondered about them myself and have only reluctantly included them in courses. So if pretests/prequestions are a way to focus your users attention on the important aspects of the content, then the big question here is, are you asking the right questions?

Of course, you need the right tools -- accurate measuring spoons and cups, and the right ingredients.

As I recall, she has two kids in high school who are taking online courses, and thats what got her interested in ID and e-learning. Even some bigger schools like my high school (around 1500 students) are using online courses for supplemental studies. Of course, the direction makes perfect sense and does seem inevitable at this stage.

Of course, part of the issue is that we spoiled by the quality of our current developers and finding people who match up makes it tough.

Of course, the problem with predictions, especially written predictions, is that you can look back and see how you did at the end of the year.
