Me: Im an instructional designer. Im sort of distracted by the naked boy who just ran by (not mine).

Cammy Beans Learning Visions: Who Gets to Be Called an Instructional Designer?

Learning Visions

. :) I say its all about vision, creativity, passion for the learner experience, a good design sense, solid writing skills.
