Im guessing youre designing online distance learning courses. Im in the weird place of for-profit education, which really has characteristics of both market sectors. Having just a bachelors degree seems to be fine as long as you arent working directly for the universities (Im not sure about K-12 online). What do you do?

wait, Im getting verbose. Another important trick is to push the client to identify what information the learner really, really needs to know *in their head at all times* and what can be punted to a job aid to be referred to as necessary. > And then remind them why they still have to learn this stuff. Stick to the meat.

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