Thursday, May 10, 2007 Learning Styles In 1996, when I first started working as an "instructional designer", I was taught about learning styles.

I tried to make more effective use of audio. Cammy: Although I like to think Im good-humored, I am leery of "humor" or "fun" (scare quotes are deliberate) injected into training like salt water into a frozen turkey.

Belatedly, Im thinking that there are relatively easy ways to enable learners to have cake or to eat it as they see fit. Chris is also a big fan of Michael Allen.

And by asking this, Im not suggesting that design isnt important, for it is - its seen by some as part of the pedagogy.
