OK, just a fun thread here, to try and knock the braincells together, and introduce some other perspectives to classic "learning" and instructional design.
Who, from history, or outside our particular field of creativity would have made a great Instructional Designer, and why?
I will start the ball rolling with Walt Disney. My explanation can be seen explained in more depth in blogland (http://wp.me/p13NYZ-2p) , but basically, he was a master of the techniques needed to communicate in-depth content with minimal, but beautifully-crafted words and maximum visual "punch".
He dreamed "how it should look and feel", and made it happen. A lesson for us all perhaps.
Bruce, if you've ever seen the DVD On the Front Lines, Disney Studios was doing instructional design in the 1940s. (See the training film Four Methods of Flush Riveting, which was produced for Lockheed.)
As for your challenge, I have to select Orson Welles, who between Citizen Kane and his radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds, used media in ways they'd never been used before. I wonder what he could have done with today's technology?
I just had a mess around, did it on the train on the way back from london, had to narrow it down to two and I was reliant on images already on machine and what I could mock up, sorry there is a mistake, it should read why dont ninjas wear ipods!

Mike,
A million "thank yous" for that.. Inspirational.
And here's the thing.....with the right graphics, PowerPoint "Fade" and a few other effects, ANYONE could reproduce that nowadays.
Once again thank you for that, beautiful, and simple.

Niel Gaiman or Joss Whedon. A lot of comic book writers probably!

Thats great Bruce, puts my effort to shame, reallly well done.
I revisited what I did and I like the cat i the hat but the apple section needed more time and effort, if I get a spare hour I will have another go.
In my defence I caught the wrong train and had to change 3 times to get home, no excuses!
