For various reasons, Im not going to go back to school to get a Masters Degree in instructional design. But I firmly believe that this journey Im on is giving me the experience and educational equivalent (if not better) than a formal M.Ed. Im putting my beginners mind back on; Ive realized how much I dont know about this stuff.

We used a different approach: The Playground Theory of Learning developed by Shelly Loewen.

Theories do not help us to expand our awareness and understanding of learning; they serve to reduce and confine it.

Pedagogy is as important to training resources as it is to educational resources and it is often impossible to tell the difference between the two types. And by asking this, Im not suggesting that design isnt important, for it is - its seen by some as part of the pedagogy. I suspect that the same will apply to advanced degrees and IDs.
