Open Forum

Hi Crusaders,

This month I want to have an open forum where YOU do the talking!

Last month we talked a little bit about Instructional Design. It is a HUGE subject and obviously one can only scratch the surface in 2 hours.

There were a lot of comments about the things that we didn't touch on that I know you have issues with (I have issues with them, too!). Things like:

• Communications

• Working with SMEs

• mLearning and other technology-related considerations

• Graphics and use of visuals

• Implementation considerations

• Evaluating learning

• Specific tool-related issues - how to do a certain thing

• and others

About half of you last month indicated that you have 10+ years of experience in Instructional Design. There is no reason for me to do all the talking with all that experience in the room.

So, this month I am not going to come with a presentation. I am going to open the floor and we'll discuss the pressing issues and questions you have. What are you struggling with? What do you need help with on a project? How do you do some of the things from the list above effectively and what has worked for you that you can share (and what hasn't worked!)?

I hope that you will find it interesting and informative. It's something different than we've done in the past but I think this is one of the reasons you joined the group. I want you to get what you need regarding e-learning and training and I know there a lot of people in this group that have a lot of good answers and information to share and all of us can benefit. I want you to share it.

So, come prepared with your questions and be ready to talk!

Thanks.

Scott
