He remained up for the challenge (to my amazement). We talked at length about what and why ID was important to this project. I even mentioned that although his project would be commercially successful with or without me as an ID, I would ensure every second of his video would have an impact leading to specific learning (and ideally behavioral) goals. More bang for the buck, per minute of video.<BR/><BR/>In today's presentation, I acknowledged that the kind of leverage I had as a freelancer to communicate this to the SME was probably more than anyone else in other situations (government, non-profit, education...) might have - but that my recommendations listed will still help people a lot.<BR/><BR/>To answer your question, I was amazed at my SMEs adeptness at incorporating the ID principles as well as he did. Per our mutual agreement, I reserved the "right" to make improvements/changes to his output without much explanation (in the event of time constraints) - but rarely had to do this.<BR/><BR/>This was my first venture into "Open Source ID" with any SME, but I enjoyed it thoroughly - and recommend other IDs consider experimenting with this as well. The major caveat is that you "screen" your SME and the Situation, as I mentioned in the presentation. <A HREF="http://www.intel-design.com" REL="nofollow">IDC</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34592362.post-55430757672514456962007-11-28T15:37:00.000-05:002007-11-28T15:37:00.000-05:00Nathan, I really like your five concepts. I think ...Nathan, I really like your five concepts. I think I'm struggling right now with the progress vs. perfectionism on a project right now, and I know it's behind far enough that I just need to get it done and stop nitpicking so much. I guess I knew that before too, but this was a good reminder.<BR/><BR/>The concept of "mentoring trumps correcting" is really great. I do see my job as an ID as trying to bring out the best in my SMEs, but I know not everyone takes that approach.<BR/><BR/>How many times have you used your training for SMEs on projects? Have you seen an improvement in your development process from SMEs from using it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34592362.post-352771026053826042007-11-28T15:20:00.000-05:002007-11-28T15:20:00.000-05:00Thanks Ryan - I agree that taking time (if possibl...Thanks Ryan - I agree that taking time (if possible) to bring SMEs up to speed on the ID process can be a huge time saver and trust-builder.

Sorry I cou...This sounds like a great presentation. Sorry I could not be there for this year's CAC but I will keep up to date on all I am missing through these blogs. <BR/><BR/>I often find myself working with SMEs other co-workers to bring them up to speed on what Instructional Design is and how it works. I am surprised to learn there are many people who have no idea what it is we do or how valuable it is. <BR/><BR/>One of the biggest challenges I faced after graduating (Dec. 06) was adapting the ID process to the many time and resource constrictions that exist in the "real world." While I was in the IIT, we followed the process step by step, however, I am finding that isnt the case most of the time. This is something I am still working on so any additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Ryan Reillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255109046017338831noreply@blogger.com
