I recently encountered a discussion in another forum that presented some really interesting, offbeat viewpoints on instructional design, and it sparked my curiosity. I’m eager to hear your unique opinions on the instructional design field—especially those that differ from mainstream ideas. Do you have any critiques or alternative perspectives on how instructional design is normally practiced? Share your experiences, controversial insights, and any observations that challenge traditional methods in this field.
Hey everyone, diving into this thread really got my gears turning! I’ve always been fascinated by the idea that instructional design doesn’t have to be this strict, formulaic process. What if, instead of rigidly sticking to objectives and assessments, we let more of the creative energy flow into our designs? I sometimes think of it like setting up a beautiful canvas and then allowing the colors to mix in unpredictable, but enriching, ways as the learners interact with the material. It might seem a bit risky to ditch the blueprint, but could it, in some cases, lead to more authentic engagement and even better learning outcomes? Have any of you tried blending spontaneity with structure in your lessons? I’d really love to hear how you balance the need for discipline while still leaving room for creative exploration. Cheers!
