Learning By Design

Elearningpost, Jul 30, 2003

A nice, long, lingering look at the process of instructional design. The bit at the beginning is especially interesting, where the author (who chooses to remain nameless) contrasts the 'engineer' model of instructional design with that of the 'gardener'. "Each problem is unique: each garden has its own opportunities and constraints. Each client is different: two clients can have similar gardens but want them to do different jobs." This sounds right to me. The autor also describes a general process of design, "Immersion -> Incubation -> Generation -> Evaluation," which also sounds right. Via elearningpost.
