During this session we viewed a video the 2009 Brown Bag presentation by Alexander Romiszowski.

The brown bag is an example of his presentation style. I had Romi has a professor and this video provides some sense of how he taught.

At the beginning of the video he talks about how he got into the ID field, and his perspectives on ID and what it encompasses. Romi has a wealth of experience doing ID work on many contexts. Being able to hear him speak about his experiences can give us a better understanding the complexity of ‘doing’ instructional design.

You can view his presentation here: (m4v file, plays in iTunes)

You can download the paper of an interview with Romi conducted by Berlin Fang (the english only version).

I also provided two Practical Exercises sheets. If you missed class you should complete the  Practical Exercise sheet I.

• Practical Exercise I
• Practical Exercise II:  This is to get you started thinking about your final project. Begin to describe the environment, system, input, process, output, tests, and feedback of your context.

Some other questions to think about are comparing training to education. Here is a sheet you can use to respond to the questions:

• What is the difference between Education, Training and Instruction? So be able to define each (generality) and provide an example.
• Why is it important, within the context of doing ID, of understanding this difference?
