Me: Im an instructional designer. Im sort of distracted by the naked boy who just ran by (not mine). So we need a different job title. I usually say "I create training that genuinely helps people do their jobs better." billbrandon had this comment on Twitter: I usually just tell em Im a writer. I create eLearning.

Its like the opening credits of a movie. Belatedly, Im thinking that there are relatively easy ways to enable learners to have cake or to eat it as they see fit. Im not sure I suggested writing WIIFM learning objectives, but they probably have their uses. Not sure if any company has try to innovate on this.

Plus a bunch of other stuff, which you can read about in my job description. 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.

A teacher makes a leap into a new field and gets a job as an "instructional designer". IMHO you are an instructional designer if you actually plan and develop the instructional content, whether for classroom, internet, job aide, etc. Just because a film professor has a graduate degree doesnt mean he/she can make a great movie.
