Well, 32 people attended my workshop on the instructional applications of Web 2.0. Ironically, around 7:30 PM last night I noticed this student chatting on Meebo, listening to her iPod, and preparing for the coming semester. She is the perfect example of the “Millennial” learner I profiled in the presentation. What a perfect end to Flex Day!

Progress! Daniel Pink would be so proud of me! Here’s sample of the concept map I created outlining relevant topics (ignore the typos…). (Flex Presentation Mind Map PDF)

Web 2.0 Flex Presentation

This Kaplan University Video illustrates my ideas and perspective on Web 2.0

Well, I’m back in my office– Starbucks! Planning my presentation for Mission College Flex Day (faculty development day). I wonder how they heck I’m going to explain the concept of Web 2.0 to my colleagues in terms they can relate to?… Suggestions?

Recently, one of my students (Jorge Oceja) made an interesting comment about Web 2.0 and the instructional design community. In his opinon, most graduate level instructional design programs, and the experts in the field in general, are neglecting to recognize the importance of Web 2.0 in the design, development, and delivery of instruction. He also argues that most graduate level ISD programs are irrelevant because they are not integrating Web 2.0 into the curriculum or researching how it fits in the scheme of current ISD models.

Check out Jay Cross’ YouTube video on Informal Learning and Web 2.0.

What do you think? Do current ISD models articulate instruction for a Web 2.0 world?
