It rambled.

Harold tells us: Anybody see a parallel here with instructional systems design or curriculum development? Web media can be created quickly and, if designed in an open manner, can change according to the needs of learners and facilitators. These processes take time and money and once the investment is made, nobody wants to do it again.

They had attended the LearnTrends free online conference. Session timing and design is difficult online. Most presenters are not used to designing for online, so it’s important to help them plan their sessions to be effective. This is my attempt to collect some of what we’ve learned over the years doing those conferences.

Social learning is bi-directional and user-generated content and feedback can be a valuable asset for instructional designers to develop more compelling and timely learning, whether that learning is published to a formal course, a non-formal podcast, or an informal blog. That’s true, but it goes much deeper than that.
