I haven't read this - it's a .pdf powerpoint note format in a zip file and I just don't have the patience which such a user-hostile format - but it is being quoted all over the blogsphere. So I'll just borrow George Siemen's description, which in turn borrows from Maish: "Good resource (except for the .pdf powerpoint note format) What do Instructional Designers Design? ...love this quote: "What do you get when you cross and Instructional Designer with a Mafioso? Someone who makes you an offer you can't understand." Maish offers some comments: "He touches many aspects of ID, like sequencing, that rarely get analyzed. Here's an anecdote from the article that I will be using often: Back in the 60s, French director, Jon-Luc Goddard was sitting on a panel of film luminaries at some or other film festival. A film critic on the panel felt obliged to defend traditional film narrative in the face of an onslaught by the French Nouvelle Vague, 'Surely, Mr. Goddard', opined the critic, 'A film needs a beginning, a middle and an end.'"
