Certification in Instructional Designing

That's an interesting story you got there John . I've been there too.

I believe instructional designing is more common sense than theory. For instance, while the audience and task analysis will give an insight into what kind of a course design will help the learner as well as the organization achieve their respective goals, I've never been able to directly perform a tangible application of the ID theories. Yes, the models and theories behind them help us understand many concepts associated with writing or creating course material such as what andragogy and pedagogy are etc. But hanging on to them for dear life has never worked for me.

But, I want a certification to substantiate my experience or in your words "wave around" :).

Thanks for the link.
