But even within the corporate market, I know the roles of the instructional designer vary widely. 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. I primarily design self-paced eLearning programs.

Im wondering if we should be talking about tiers of instructional design. Work with 3D tools like Second Life. What I do have is 13+ years of experience in the field, plus a lot of self-directed energy to learn more. Today Im feeling more like a hazy purple. Look at my own path to instructional design.

Im concerned that women will be excluded if such a focus is put on gaming skills -- or at least the gamer label.

I think Im somewhat of an anomaly in the field. Maybe Im not an instructional designer at all. I think my dinosaur status as an instructional designer stems from the fact that Ive always worked for e-Learning vendors where the programming, graphics, and ID are distinct, separate job roles.

They often use slick video to show a concept while a voice-over explains everything, so the learners only role is to passively absorb. Im not saying to leave the info a mystery; Im saying that Ive seen a lot of elearning that seems to underestimate the intelligence of the learner and makes every little thing painfully explicit.

Do you work in or favor a design shop where each person has his or her own role (ID, graphics, programming, QA)? Atleast in India, as far as I know an elearning division has graphic designers, programmers and Instructional Designers where each of them have their own role to play. Whats your view? They do not necessarily implement them.
