That's the question. Now, can you give me an answer? I'm sure there are lots of answers, so, what comes to your mind?

When I think about it, there's lots of things that start floating through my mind. But it hasn't all gelled yet.

It stands to reason that changes in business, technology and e-learning methodology MUST have had an impact on how instructional designers work. What's your story? Is ADDIE worn out? Is it still relevant?

I know for w/, writing with simulations in mind has made a huge difference in how we approach ID. And yet, at least some of the basics will never change. Nor should they.

Another thing that comes to mind is always thinking about the financial outcomes of e-learning. Most managers want more proof that they are getting results than they used to, so that enters into how we design, too. We focus more on business results and how to measure them. A good thing, I think, because it keeps us more on-point, all the time.

So, I'm asking here, on Twitter and on LinkedIn, to see what you and your contemporaries think. And when I've heard enough, I'll write another blog post about changes in ID.

Let me know what you think!
