Comments on: LTGR Ep. #13 - Defining Instructional Design http://www.ltgreenroom.org/episodes/22 The LT Green Room is a podcast for Renewal, Retooling and Conversations about Learning. It is co-hosted by Susan Manning and Dan Balzer and its show topics are often drawn from members of LearningTimes.org, a free online community of education and training professionals from across the globe. The LT Green Room gives listeners (and ourselves) an opportunity to reflect on what they're doing behind the scene that results in an effective learning experience.

As luck would have it, the authors presented information on the ADDIE model. I found it especially helpful in my efforts to understand the model as I continue to work on my own ADDIE project. The MP3 download was helpful in filling in any gaps that the blog had left. Especially helpful was the use of terms like “intentionality” from Dan and the choice of “marriage” from Susan to tie more meaning to instructional design.

I'm thinking about the interior design metaphor. If I want my instructional "house" to look like it came from a television set, then I probably need to find a professional to help me because even with all the self-help channels, I'm not there, yet. Is that realistic for most faculty at small schools with small budgets? Where can I find inexpensive help? Still thinking ... you've got me started! Susan Wonderful resources, Michael!

Great episode, as always. This page has links to three essays by Jason McDonald about instructional design that you will find interesting. http://cid.lib.byu.edu/ I recently found a Flash presentation from University of Florida that I think really captures what an instructional designer does these days to produce an online course. See http://citt.ufl.edu/Marcela/ADDIE_Online/ADDIE-online.swf One thing that comes across in the Florida presentation is that their instructional designers have a lot of skills that a typical instructor does not have - needs analysis, project management, accessible and usable content creation, etc. I think that Instructional Design is a lot like Interior Design (my mom was an interior designer while I was growing up). Everyone can do it, but not everyone can do it well. I remember my first attempts at teaching (when I was about 20 years old in an EFL classroom in Taiwan with no previous training) and my first attempts at decorating (when I was a freshman in college, living away from my parents for the first time). Needless to say, both attempts were not very successful! Hopefully, with some experience and training, I have become better at both. Keep up the good work, Michael Hi Susan and Dan!
