BLOG ON INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN



This is my first blog experience .My task is to create my own blog and to write about three blogs related to my field.
http://www.iddblog.org/ is the first blog that I have found. It is maintained by the Instructional Design and Development department at DePaul University. The site’s primary goal is to provide information on enhancing instruction through the use of technology. The goal of this blog is to provide teach/learning information to educators of the five (5) generations presently in the workplace. This helps to the learners of designer course to update themselves. Other articles can be referenced from this blog.

The second blog is about e-learning instructional design ideas .The site is http://www.blog.cathy-moore.com/ . Here we can find practical ideas for powerful e- learning material for adults in business world .This says how to choose a goal that leads to a measurable business improvement and to brainstorm realistic activities that help learners apply their new knowledge on the job. It also helps to identify what content really needs to be included—and what can be cut. And then to decide what should information should go in a course and what should go in a job aid.
The final one is http://www.mindmapblog.com/. This is dedicated to sharing visual mapping tools, resources, and ideas. The site explores mind mapping in business, education, and personal life. The site also highlights in online resource for helping others leverage the power of mind mapping and innovation. People all around the world are now using mind mapping for project management, presentations, strategic planning, brainstorming, content management, and team collaboration. More and more people are learning about the power of mind mapping and leveraging it for greater success in business, education and their personal lives. As an educationist this blog will help me to update my self.
