The 72-hour work week or the 996 requirement of some companies in Silicon Valley has reignited the work life balance debate. This post takes a 996-pro view and invites discussion.
Fink’s Taxonomy of Significant Learning dissolves the distinction among the learning domains and presents learning as the sum of six dimensions, which pan across the learning domains. This post explains the dimensions and emphasizes that regardless of the principles/concepts/models you use, instructional design helps you create effective and holistic learning experiences.
This post is ignited by the New Yorker article, “Will A.I. Trap You in the “Permanent Underclass”?” The creation of the modern lumpenproletariat or the permanent underclass, pushed down and under by the cycle of power and money fueled by AI, could be the stark reality of the future. This post asks some important (and very uncomfortable) questions and attempts to answer them.
Fourteen links that discuss several key instructional design concepts such as Bloom’s and Krathwohl’s Taxonomies, Merrill’s First Principles, John Sweller’s Cognitive Load theory, Miller’ rule, the ARCS model, constructivism, novice vs, expert, learning objectives, action verbs, audience analysis, and more.
Watch Li’l Bit dancing to celebrate the new session of the IDCDT-AIM Online Course and the introduction of the AI module.
Men and women react differently to the recession. Men stop buying underwear; women start buying lipstick. The question is – do they learn differently, too? Are gender-based cognitive differences real? What difference does it make to the instructional designers creating content for the adult learners?
The undeniable importance of Bloom’s Taxonomy sometimes makes us wonder why this particular concept has become almost a “guru-mantra” for instructional designers. In this post, we discuss BT, RBT, and how the taxonomy helps us build better courses ourselves and even with AI.
Merrill’s First Principles connect deeply with several other instructional design principles, and this is why, regardless of your own process of building effective courses, you’ll find the principles reflected in your design. In this post, we see how these principles reflect in the IDCDT-AIM Course.
AI Workslop or sloppy work done using AI, is the new villain in the workplace. Read about what AI workslop is, its causes, its long-term and short-term effects, and how to contain it.
I’m falling in love with instructional design once again. A starry-eyed instructional designer sits with “For the Love of Instructional Design – The Non-textbook for Learning Professionals.”
