Wednesday, May 09, 2007 Getting an Informal M.Ed For various reasons, Im not going to go back to school to get a Masters Degree in instructional design. But I firmly believe that this journey Im on is giving me the experience and educational equivalent (if not better) than a formal M.Ed. I already have a job doing it!

Thursday, March 01, 2007 This job aint dead yet. What strikes me about this whole DIY/informal learning/death of ISD conversation is that what were really talking about are those so-called motivated knowledge workers. These are guys who will take informal learning by the horns and run with it. At least, this is what Im told.
