Treats and Tricks

As I mentioned in my last post, many "treats" and creative tools are now available for instructional designers.  It is sort of like selecting which candy treat to choose on Halloween.  I really appreciate looking at and discussing these in class and the recommendations from classmates. 

We learned about several graphics tools in class that will make our work easier and more engaging to viewers. The "tricky" part is there are so many to choose from!  Especially if you are like me and have a hard time making that final decision.  Another trick is that some are free to use but may not be private, or may not be around for long, or may decide to start charging for use. 

The textbook is treating us to a a good summary of the range of "trends and issues"and an  introduction to practical details and critical background theories we will need to pursue instructional design.  I am looking forward to learning more in depth from the groups and as we proceed into the more detailed courses.
