I’ll admit it, I’m a training
geek. I can tell you why the analysis phase makes or breaks
training. I can ramble on about adult learning theory, creating
meaningful objectives, developing test questions that will tell you
who really learned the material covered and so on.
But I Won’t!
All that stuff helps us design, develop and deliver the best training
possible within our narrow constraints. It’s good enough for now.
However, training professionals need to think about things further
down the road then our next big deadline.
I’m not saying that we aren’t
meeting the needs of our learners. All that I’m saying is that as
society evolves (or devolves - for you glass half-empty types),
training in general, and instructional design specifically, needs to
evolve along
