Stephen Downes has written an interesting post about the future of IMS Learning Design (thanks Hannes). Ha has asked a couple of key-people about their opinion on the future of IMS LD.
Joel Greenberg says that
My own personal view: maybe the world is moving on, and maybe the idea of ‘design’ is a bit old fashioned. I have been looking at the world of social networking, and my mind is moving away from the model where we are the experts and package the knowledge and sequence it.
While Gilbert Paquette says that:
My view is a bit more optiminstic, I don’t know why, because we’ve been working on this for fifteen years, but we’re working on hard problems. Learning design has had more of an impact on workplace learning. In corporations, you have to distribute lots of information, if you want to keep your people, and so you have to prepare thinsg in packages, so we’re inclined to try to prepare things.
