post-producing a podcast or video? So, what could you buy or sell remotely by the hour: analysing a performance requirement? proposing a blended solution? recommending products / vendors? scripting a narration? designing a simple scenario? preparing a quiz? professionalising a slide show? I'll stop there, because there's no end to this list.

Creating learning screencasts. Creating learning scenarios.

We can model podcasts on what we hear on the radio. With most learning media, there is an expectation of how it should look and behave based on the mass media. We can benchmark what we do against 1000s of everyday examples. We can model our learning videos on what we see on TV and on YouTube.

However, so much of the design work that’s required is not instructional in nature, for example: If the experience you are designing is simply expositional – videos, podcasts, books, presentations, etc. If the experience is one of guided discovery – scenarios, simulations, etc.

Videos, podcasts, screencasts, reference guides, even simple slide shows, can all be valuable resources and will be used increasingly in learning solutions. It provides the structure that novices need. Importantly it's also cheap to deploy. But designers should not get too snooty about working on projects for which no interaction is needed.
