Im not talking about the quantity of my friends, but rather the breadth and depth. Im not sure if there was a specific tipping point for me, but I was certainly amused when one of my friends informed me that Im personally responsible for making her waste more time on Facebook than she ever thought possible.

Friday, May 04, 2007 Rapid e-Learning, Templates, & SMEs Theres been a lot of good talk lately about rapid e-learning tools and templates and the roles of SMEs vs. instructional designers. If youre providing SMEs with the templates, Im not sure theyll be altering them. Im not saying there is no place for templates (honestly!),

Now Im not saying that SMEs are rats, or instructional designers are rats. Im thinking of Chestertons remark that theres a big difference between a man who wants to read a book and a man who wants a book to read. As a result, ISD tends in terms of its product toward the hierarchical, the group requirement, the predictable.

Assessment/Survey/Polls – If your product doesn’t have it – you need it. I hope it does – especially with SaaS products. I’m still stunned at the number of products who feel this does not apply. If your product is SaaS based, push the pedal to the metal and make this a must. Makes sense.

There seems to be a mix between contract and full time positions, and Im not sure how to read into that. One of the products that my company creates are Flash based eLearning templates. Is this rolled right into the product or is that consulting expertise considered extra? Are designers beginning to help others author content?

And by asking this, Im not suggesting that design isnt important, for it is - its seen by some as part of the pedagogy. As a simplistic example, if I had to cut corners, Id probably cut those for high-end graphics in order to build richer examples, rather than skimping on examples so as to have production-value graphics.
