I missed the follow up to the rubric post until today. I think that AK raises an interesting question about what goes into the course. I want to give that some thought.
My first thought is to review the work of Roger Schank on
Story-Centered Curriculum building. It follows an actual work experience. Very persuasive ideas. A course on instructional design would begin by presenting the performance issue to be changed. The course might progress through analysis, design development and so on. Instead of introduction to learning theory etc. They would look into that as it was needed to continue the project.
Just to continue to change the topic :-) Now that I have the "dashboad" page on netvibes, I can see the new threads. Unfortunately I cant see when something is added to a specific thread. My wish would be for something that allowed my to "follow a thread that I had posted in. Otherwise, I think this site makes for a great learning platform.
