Show Notes:
After introductions, Susan looked back at how they defined instructional design in 2007. Here is the former episode. http://www.ltgreenroom.org/episodes/22 Susan drew out this comment for Dan to react to: “Everybody has a theory, but some don’t articulate it.” That led to a discussion about learning theory and being intentional.
Learning theory is a topic both enjoy discussing, so the conversation from this episode will continue in the next episode.
Meanwhile, Susan would like to know how listeners’ definitions of instructional design differ from theirs and Dan wants to know how aware listeners are of their own theories of learning when they face a design challenge.

I am not a fan of “sit and git” learning or “stand and deliver” teaching. While some people might learn fine this way, I prefer to try and design memorable experiences that will allow the learner to practice, apply, and ultimately transfer the knowledge into their performances.
As Dan mentioned, he likes to try and bring vendors around to his way of learning. I must agree that I do the same. I do appreciate the learning experience of using the sponge over the knowledge sponge bath. I find that with sponge baths – the water dries up and is quickly lost – better to hand the sponge over to the learner, I say.
