Im flying on intuition and experience and informal learning." Im still curious about the breakdown in degrees between the corporate and academic sectors. 37% of IDs say "Yes, I do have a formal/advanced ID degree." 63% of working IDS say "Nope. Only 13% of those without a degree say they have ever been denied work as a result.

Im wondering if we should be talking about tiers of instructional design. Today Im feeling more like a hazy purple. Im wondering if in the carpentry example if a master carpenter would agree with you? Im sure a master carpenter wouldnt think so highly of the table I were to make should I take on such a project.

Im just about to kickoff a new project with a manufacturing organization to produce some custom courses. Im gonna call them an "immature e-Learning organization." Are you a strategy consultant? So thats a vision of the future of e-Learning. Thats mature e-Learning. They seem to want page-turners, more or less. Games are scary.

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. Im with Stephen that we need different kinds of learning options for different kids and different needs.

Im going to quote heavily from the article here, inserting my own thoughts along the way. Ive seen this trend with my company as well: Laurence Wilson, who runs an independent e-learning consultancy, recently employed this approach on a project for recruitment giant Vedior.

How do you ensure your consulting expertise gets communicated in a development project? Im interested to see what responses you might get. Im interested to see what responses Ill get as well. But the bottom line is, the vendor needs to butter their bread and produce what the client has asked for. 10:56 AM Cammy Bean said.

Now, maybe Im just jaded and want to get to an approved storyboard. Maybe its the fact that Im recovering from pneumonia and just dont have the energy to fight the fight. Im just now starting to feel slightly less horrible. In a company I recently worked for as a consultant, they did something similar to what Tom suggests.

So Im spreading the word and saying: go take the survey and add your own little self into the mix. And then there are consultant-types who focus on performance improvement within organizations, of which learning and training is a key component -- and thus technology. #2 Go take the survey and help him get a good set of data."

And by asking this, Im not suggesting that design isnt important, for it is - its seen by some as part of the pedagogy. And they drew that delineation between what trainers did, or what writers did, or what consultants did.and what an ID does.

This is a big consulting project -- a first for me -- in which we have this amazing opportunity to work with a large organization to help them define their e-Learning strategy. All the vendors and consultants say pretty much the same thing and follow the same process. I read articles, followed links, looked at websites.

Im with you all. Instructional Designer as Consultant? So I must say i agree mostly with professor phelps on this one. but the stronger the mix in theory knowledge, application and mediums. the more of an ID you are. wasnt in the book animal farm where it was said.all animals are equal, but some are more equal than others??

This has very little to do with eLearning - although Im sure those of you with a creative mindset could think of something! most of the social intelligence and really useful things I bring to design and consulting, I learned from truly outstanding mentors.
