I’m eager to delve into unconventional viewpoints regarding the field of instructional design. Recently, I encountered a discussion elsewhere that presented some intriguing opinions about the instructional design process, and it sparked my interest in gathering diverse, unpopular perspectives. I invite everyone to share any insights or criticisms you might have encountered that challenge the traditional methods of developing educational content. Your unique experiences and thoughts on how the process could be improved or critiqued are highly welcome, so please contribute your ideas here.
i think instructional design overly polices creative input. it often ignores on-the-fly teaching adjustments and dynamic learner needs in favor of fixed, outdated methods. a more fluid, adaptable approach might just break the norm and foster real engagmnt.
Hey everyone, I’ve been mulling over the idea that maybe we’ve been putting too much emphasis on rigid models in instructional design. It feels like we’re sometimes sacrificing that spontaneous energy that really makes learning engaging. I love how this thread is opening up space to challenge the norm! I wonder if there’s a way to bring in more flexibility without throwing out the whole structure that helps guide us. What do you think about the balance between necessary structure and creativity? Have you tried blending in more adaptive methods in your work or seen a setting where a less structured approach brought unexpected benefits? I’m really curious to know more about how others are pushing back against traditional molds while still ensuring effective learning outcomes. Let’s keep this conversation going ![]()
