My friend and colleague, Connie Malamed (aka The eLearning Coach ) has developed a handy iPhone application that will help you become a better instructional designer making tips, definitions and ideas available right at your finger tips. How is it of value to instructional designers and other learning professionals?

Sounds like some of the things instructional designers do, we use case studies and examples to wrap experiences, we add rules and we create challenges to engage the learning. Sounds to me like instructional designers and learning and development professionals should “own&# Gamification. This is mastery learning.

So, anyone who has worked with an instructional design or training client has encountered this scenario. I love the women who announces that “Fire Engine” Red is owned by the fire company…a stakeholder arises out of nowhere and changes the scope…oh I’ve so been there.

As someone designing a learning game, gamification event, classroom instruction or eLearning…there are times when we need to put on our creativity hat and get going. How do you get in the “creative mood”? But sometimes we are stuck. Here are three videos on creativity that may help… Always love John Cleese!

Enter instructional design. What happens in a typically designed program? The designer creates abstracted bulleted lists or items the learner must know and apply to a situation and then, once or twice in the course of the class/e-learning event, etc. It “learned&# for the pattern and examples of previous questions.

Story telling and instructional design have a lot in common and perhaps they are not thought of as having any overlap but they do. In e-learning we have instructional strategies, in a story we have a plot. Design: Compliance Complaints So the question might be asked, how do we help instructional designers become storytellers.

Lately there has been some talk about what exactly instructional designers do and what value they add to the process. So it is the design of the instruction that matters more than how the instruction is delivered (a lesson that needs to be learned by many Instructional Technologists).
