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.”
What is ghosting? Why does it happen? How does it impact both parties? How to deal with being ghosted? Why is ghosting on the rise? How ID helps?
And a glossary of ghosting-related terms, such as Orbiting, Bread-crumbing, Caspering, Submarining, and Zombying.
A fun take on Google’s Nano Banana. A question, something about a scheming schema (which instructional designers have a robust schema of), and a video full of nano-love made by the Nano Banana Grok Imagine duo.
Musk agrees to bring the oomph back to Tesla and buys $1B worth of shares to seal the deal. Optimus Gen3, launched recently, appears to be his pet project at Tesla as he tweets about “burning the midnight oil” with the Optimus team, and the synergy between Optimus and Grok.
