Week 2 Application Assignment (3): Critique




skossivi Says:

In her blog, relating to the site above Rene states: “If you are like me and are new to instructional technology and design, this blog is a great resource because it seems to be grounded in reality…What I found most appealing and helpful is that the author is currently doing the work of instructional design”.
Instructional Design and Technology (IDT), yes I am a novice with limited knowledge in the subject matter and need help; that is why I enrolled in the MS-IDT: Online Learning. Maybe I am a little bit impatient.

I added this site to my blog list so I can gain some insights. Blogging broadens my learning horizon and exposes me to new ways of thinking, but when I started reading about IDEAS: Instructional Design for E-learning Approaches and other subtopics I realized that IDEAS became exactly what the words said; that was ideas.  I was disappointed about Rene’s claim above.

 I am expecting something extraordinary that can help me starting implementing IDT before my degree. I think I expect too much and am disappointed. The worst part of it is when I read Instructional Technology Application, click on the link and get this:

“The page cannot be found
(The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please try the following: Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of your browser is spelled and formatted corectly.

HTTP Error 404 – File or directory not found.

Sometimes, some subtopics lead you to buy software; it is like the author is advertizing or marketing for a software company.

I expect step- by -step instructions of how with real applications, but unfortunately I consider Instructional Design for Elearning ApproacheS (IDEAS) as remaining on its pure unadulterated state of ideas of the writer and the followers.
