Me: Im an instructional designer. Im sort of distracted by the naked boy who just ran by (not mine). If I see they still have that blank look in their eyes, I quickly mention the names of some of my clients and that usually gets there attention enough to explain further. And then they think Im a flippin genius!!!!

Its like the opening credits of a movie. When clients insist on the objectives list, Clive includes an opening scene to spice things up. Belatedly, Im thinking that there are relatively easy ways to enable learners to have cake or to eat it as they see fit. Not sure if any company has try to innovate on this.

At least, this is what Im told. And as long as companies still pay for it we are all sittin pretty making some coin crankin out the Captivate movies sippin a cold pint.

Just because a film professor has a graduate degree doesnt mean he/she can make a great movie. Im with you all. Can I, um, have your attention, please? Adult learning theory? 5:12 PM Rupa said.

Disruptive technology: Restaurants vs. Frozen Foods Movie Theaters vs. Blockbuster Wired Phones vs. Cell phones F2F Training vs. Online Training A lot of current online training is not disruptive, still incremental. Any LMS needs to have open-standards (not just open source) so you can take your content to another source.

And by asking this, Im not suggesting that design isnt important, for it is - its seen by some as part of the pedagogy. Theres a line in the Jack Black movie "School of Rock" thats not original but is a common joke in the education field.

While Tom again, makes some cogent points, Im compelled to point out a couple of my own. To clarify though, I havent even held one of the darn things but when as dominant a player in a market like Amazon comes out with an e-book reader, I do think that demands our attention. where I am linking to all the Lewin stuff I find.
