Monday, January 21, 2008 Putting the Demand Back in On-Demand Learning I didnt come up with that headline. Im co-opting it and encourage all of you to do the same. Im writing financial industry software training course storyboard #10, in a series of 29 courses! So much on-demand training consists of boring page turners.

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.

If I were in charge (but sadly, Im not), Id put her in the Whos Who of eLearning. But the goal was about selling software for elearning and education, not necessarily focusing on the needs of IDs. I learned a lot about how people outside our practice think about who we are, what we do, how we work. United States License.

Every software interaction and menu is explained in detail. The more I get into this field the more I realize how big a problem (if you can call it that) it is to create the right learning for the student, but still appease the person thats ultimately paying you. Im interested to see what responses you might get. Its all there.

Take learning a piece of software. If youve ever taught a software class, you know you will have explorers in your class who will wander off the track being presented in class following the "I wonder what happens if you do x" train of thought then get lost from where you are going.

Now, maybe Im just jaded and want to get to an approved storyboard. Maybe its the fact that Im recovering from pneumonia and just dont have the energy to fight the fight. I designed it that way because I was told thats the way to appeal to different "learning styles." Im just now starting to feel slightly less horrible.

How much of the pedagogy used by IDs is less to do with learning and more to do with design? And by asking this, Im not suggesting that design isnt important, for it is - its seen by some as part of the pedagogy. What I am learning in class, and what I see in the real world point to a disconnect. I like what I am learning.

Mostly software training, with bits of process and product information thrown in for good measure. Lots of software interactivity. Schedules dont always work out, so more often this is a one-on-one tour of the software and the content notes with the trainer. Oh, except Im the developer and audio engineer too.

I have a lot of issues with the whole "seat time" model (and Im thinking about sit and click style eLearning here of the self-paced variety): My seat time may be different than yours Is there supplemental material, like reading, that is optional -- or that might vary per user?
