Welcome to The Buzz!

Use this section to post your thoughts and ideas on trends, theories, and thoughts in regards to instructional design. Remember, ISD isn't limited to concepts. We all have to design for elearning, for instructor-led classes, for multitudes of people. This is your chance to express your thoughts.

Here are some questions to get you started:

What are your biggest management/client issues?

What are your biggest technology issues?

What are your biggest SME issues?

What are your biggest review and sign-off issues?

When you post, please remember to preface your comment with your name and the date. Thank you!

Let's start the conversation!

Clark Quinn-Quinnovation: what I see is too much ID practiced by rote, without understanding the underlying principles. The result is elearning that has polish, but no purpose. How do we promulgate deeper ID? (Which doesn't mean it's not fun, but it's gotta work!)

Clark: I would agree, and this is a big issue I have with compliance training. I feel like we're often designing training on a deadline, which is resulting in students just clicking the next button. I believe a deeper understanding of the principles behind adult learning would help us to all create better, exciting learning that results in knowledge retention as well.
