Often I have two small kids in tow or Im trying to check ten things off a list during my lunch hour. The aisles are shorter and there are fewer products on the shelves. A good aggregator (like Stephen Downes) will get me the info I need so Im not missing the really juicy stuff. Im sure many of you are the same.

Now Im not saying that SMEs are rats, or instructional designers are rats. Im thinking of Chestertons remark that theres a big difference between a man who wants to read a book and a man who wants a book to read. As a result, ISD tends in terms of its product toward the hierarchical, the group requirement, the predictable.

There seems to be a mix between contract and full time positions, and Im not sure how to read into that. One of the products that my company creates are Flash based eLearning templates. Is this rolled right into the product or is that consulting expertise considered extra? Are designers beginning to help others author content?
