Im curious what other folks experiences has been. Im so happy to see you post this up. Im struggling with this right now. My problem however is that they keep dropping courses. Im not on to trying to source another college or university to try out. If you dont, have you ever been denied a job for the lack of one?

wait, Im getting verbose. A really common problem is to dump a lot of info into a course that would be more useful outside the course, searchable on the intranet or included in help files or even just printed on a card that learners can look at. Also Cathys trick: make it problem-based. Stick to the meat.

In reducing the value of an instructional designer by handing them tools to be lone gunmen, we have created the problem of believing we can replace or eliminate the instructional designer, since our in-house resident experts can do the very same job. But Im not sure I can get people to hold their answers back.
