by Kevin Siegel When developing eLearning, one important goal is to ensure consistency from object to object.

I want to apologize. I write about instructional design (ID) all the time but I’ve never stopped to explain what Instructional Designers really do. There are numerous definitions for it and many of them are somewhat wordy and technical. So, here’s my personal definition instead: Instructional design is the art/science of making things make sense. That’s it in a nutshell.

The learning landscape is not constant, shifting the learning focus on learners, learning, skills, goals and attitude. A decade ago, there was a tug of war for the online and the traditional learning. The tussle continues even to this day with the learning modalities of both online and traditional learning overlapping in terms of treatment, elements, and components.

People are more disengaged than ever. A poll by the Gallup organization estimates that in 2015, “the majority (50.8%) of employees were ‘not engaged,’ while another 17.2% were ‘actively disengaged’.” “Actively disengaged” is one of my favorite phrases. I interpret it to mean that a person actually has to work to be disengaged; they have to try to be disengaged.

Salvador Dali, The Persistence of Memory. Where were you on 9/11/2001? I was teaching a virtual class early in the morning from my home in Rio Verde, Arizona.

I kept teaching until I had covered all the content, because I knew my client was sitting in and I knew what he expected.

Just like most other projects, eLearning projects can quickly become unmanageable – courses grow out of scope or Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to request multiple changes. Why does this happen, and how can it be avoided? Managing expectations is key to ensuring that projects are delivered on time and within scope. Many SMEs do not know much about eLearning; therefore, frequently they do not know what to expect.

At a private event, I had a chance to hear Kaihan Krippendorff talk about thinking differently about innovation. He used an 8P’s model as a framework to illustrate how to think differently. He started by pointing out that the myth of entrepreneurial innovation is overblown, and that innovation comes from moving outside ‘business as usual’ In an engaging way, he used several examples for each of the Ps to show how companies succeeded by rethinking around this element (speaking

“Who are the game mechanics?” I was asked this question during a recent meeting as I described the way a gamification strategy can motivate user engagement as part of a modern learning strategy. The fact that someone thought a “game mechanic” was a person (honest mistake) made me start thinking about the evolution of gamification and learning during the past few years as well as my own practical experience with the concept.

We’re hearing more and more about AR (Augmented Reality), and one of it’s core elements is layering information on top of the world. But in a conversation the other night, it occurred to me that we could push that information to be even more proactive in facilitating learning. And this comes from the use of models. The key idea I want to leverage is the use of models to foster is the use of models to predict or explain what happens in the world.

The AICC is dissolved, but having an LMS that supports AICC is still crucial. In 1988, the Aviation Industry Computer-based Training Committee (AICC) was formed to make sure training material could be developed, delivered and evaluated across the increasing number of computer-based training platforms. These universal specifications set forth by the AICC soon reached far beyond the aviation community and into the corporate training world, making AICC the first elearning standard in the world.
