INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER TRAITS

BE A TRAVELER

Overcoming Constraints

Enjoys Undertaking New Adventures

Loves And Embraces Learning

Moves Ahead Tackling All Problems

Communication in New Places A Revelation

No Attachments to One Mode of Traveling

BECOME A LEARNER

Don’t Think Like A Learner. Instead become One to understand them.

Do Something You Had Never Done Before Designing A Learning solution

Empathy Is Great But Will Only Let You Make Choices Of Yes Yes..No No

SIMPLICITY

Design should evoke How stupid of me not to have thought of that? Was Huxley’s reaction to Darwin's Origin of Species.

It is Achieved When You Know The Topic Completely In And Out

Simplicity is Nothing But Creativity Dancing Blurring The Efforts

Simplicity Is Leaving All That Is Not Essential

A Layman Should Understand Just Looking At It

BE A CHILD

Curiousity

Passionate

Involvement

Painting The Imagination

No Attachment of Doing It One way

Using One Item in Many Different Ways

LEARNING TAKES DIFFERENT FORMS

The Way Of Learning is not universal

Learners are like us, but need not learn the way we learn

It’s like watching the same movie or reading the same book but the take away is different.

Customize Learning

INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN IS A JOURNEY

It’s a journey filled with discovery mystique

Journey with the technology and don’t lag behind it

Don’t get hooked to one way or one thing

Keep exploring in keeping to the spirits of William James ‘Experiment! Explore! Change! Grow!

I would add one of my own. Experiment! Explore! Discover! Change! Grow!.
