So often people treat ID as just organizing information on a page. A Brief History of Instruction The modern classroom, 1770’s in Prussia – you faced the teacher who was the expert and the storehouse of knowledge. Nowadays, there’s just way too much information.

Another important trick is to push the client to identify what information the learner really, really needs to know *in their head at all times* and what can be punted to a job aid to be referred to as necessary.
