      Great clarification. Thanks, Lori (1 value point for this excellent explanation)
  • using a strictly cognitivist approach, this would be one element of a larger plan. For example, I would start with getting the learners attention, i.e. describe an evisceration (opening of a wound) due to incorrect suture selection. Next, link new information to existing, i.e. discussion microbiology and the principles of infection as they relate to sutures. Organize the information, the organizer would be useful here. Assimilate new knowledge into existing ... Describe situations in which the various sutures would be used. Strengthen through rehearsal, as mentioned. The instructor could observe the practice and provide feedback. A test over the sutures would follow. Ultimately, there would be authentic context application in the clinical setting.

      What does OD stand for?
  • I am an instructional design practioner, but my title is 'learning designer.' The variety of positions, titles, organizations, and industries are what make defining the field and comparing jobs so difficult

      Interesting Brian... Can you think of any titles that are different in different fields, but basically mean the same thing?
  • Inventing ways to teach through electronic games, goys and life forms

      Is this a job or a role for a particular job?

  • But according to Dolezalek, salary averages for those with bachelor's and master's degrees went up, though those with Ph.D.'s tended to earn less than those with "professinal" degrees like an MBA (Dolezalek, 2005, p. 16).

      This is an interesting note. Many professors I know say that a Ph.D. in HPT is worthless - any thoughts on this? They say it doesn't do anything for you that a masters in HPT can't do for you.

      Who has heard in the corporate world having a Ph.D in Business Administration?

      I don't know that any degree could be considered useless. Even if it doesn't tell you anything you don't already know, it still helps to promote the idea that you are a an expert. Especially if one is working within universities (as I do), higher ed degrees really helps to demonstrate expertise.
  • Brian, great job in searching beyond the surface and making a comparison as to who is putting out the information. Salaries would differ in the various sectors of the IT field

      Excellent point! Brian - I award you one point for this!
  • I wonder -- is there a correlation between geographical location and industry? Will all instructional designers on the west coast, regardless of industry, be making more money than those in the Southwest? Another question
    • drleftwich
      drleftwich on 02 Aug 07
       
      I'm assuming that this would correlate with cost of living?
  • The gov't is realizing effective training is essetial and, mostly, cannot be built by department employees. Even if they could it is a burden on primary job responsibilites
    • drleftwich

      This is very interesting - should we outsource everything that we're not experts in? By outsourcing, don't we need to communicate with these individuals? Is anything lost by doing all this outsourcing?
    • cbruncli

      No, we do not need to outsource everything but it does relieve a burden. I liked developing training as it helped me learn more on the subject but it did take me away from my duties. The Coast Guard is a small service so we have a primary duty and many collaterals we are responsible for. Not only was a Marine Inspector and Investigtor, I was the CFC Campaign Coordinator, Education Service Officer, Leadership Committee Chairperson, Visiting Ships Liason, Assistant Security Officer, and whatever else they gave me. So, if they could outsource some standard ESO training instead of every ESO in the CG building it from scratch, I'm all for it.
  • the stronger and broader your knowledge of "hard" technologies the better chance of getting hired. This is due in part to businesses desire to cut training costs, yet cover a large number of employees and the most effective way to do that is Internet, CD-Rom, etc., the "hard" technologies
    • drleftwich
      drleftwich on 02 Aug 07
       
      What about knowledge of "soft" technologies? It seems that those who come up with creative solutions, or those able to communicate with multiple groups to design the most effective instruction.
  • This is exactly what I've been finding, Teresa. I've been looking around the past few months, and have found several job postings for "instructional designer" that value, above anything else, experience and/or training using authoring tools
    • drleftwich
      drleftwich on 02 Aug 07
       
      This seems true for the more entry-level instructional designers. Would you say that the technology knowledge is more valued than knowledge of instructional design principles? What would yield more effective instruction? Why would companies be so interested in technology skills?

      By the way, excellent post Sarah = put 1 point on the weekly participation from me.
  • so I can be on the track of getting out of the k-12 setting and into the business/industry setting
    • drleftwich

      Is this where you want to move to Teresa? I know many K-12 focused people that participate in such organizations as well...
  • The subscriptions include PerformanceImprovement (ISPI), T+D (ASTD), and Techtrends (AECT) magazines. I cited some works from TechTrends. I got the most use out of my AECT membership because it offers free online books including the AECT Handbook.

      Just FYI, as an IU Distance Education Student, you have access to all these journals. http://www.libraries.iub.edu/index.php?pageId=4415
  • Dr. Molenda did not sound too enthused about ASTD and its new certification process but a student, Mark, is retaining membership in ASTD. As for IBSTIPI, it sounds like an intersesting organization and Mark meantioned another organization and did not know its name, I assume it is this

      Note that IU will soon be starting up a certificate program with ISPI - an HPT focus for Instructional Designers - it should be a really impressive program!

      This is an interesting concept - I like it as a course requirement - perhaps it's more beneficial than a textbook.

      Excellent summary of factors affecting salary. As we are both in education, I imagine you are as frustrated as I that education is what I would call underpaid. Also, great reference to Reiser above. 1 point to Sarah from Lori

      Most industry instructional designers find that ISPI is the most useful organization.

      Great point Pat ... this caused me to look into salaries for different fields a bit. I found some interesting differences in salaries for Masters prepared individuals. 1 point from Lori

      This comment could really go anywhere... Teresa and Sarah were among the first to participate this week and they did an EXCELLENT job of summarazing the key points for this week. It really set the stage for the rest of our discussion and allowed us--as a class--to focus on critical issues behind the content. Sarah 1 pt. from Brian Teresa 1 pt. from Brian

      Chris ... great point about the need for professionals to do the ISD work. Sometimes multi-tasking is NOT the thing to do. 1 point from Lori
