2010-03-05 12:10:25 [Message] mrsdurff -> Room 1: sound good on ETT A
2010-03-05 12:11:06 [Message] K_Smith -> Room 1: In corporate world you always have to sell value/benefits @ low cost or no cost and show results - results in the way "they" understand and done
2010-03-05 12:11:21 [Message] JenM -> Room 1: beyond the difference in design practices b/w corp vs. HE, what about the actual instructional differences? for ex. design of interaction among learners, etc.
2010-03-05 12:12:20 [Message] linda u -> Room 1: Exactly - faculty aren't helped with "how to teach" (often)
2010-03-05 12:12:45 [Message] mrsdurff -> Room 1: now really, it isn't rocket science
2010-03-05 12:13:08 [Message] K_Smith -> Room 1: I was an ISD - faculty development specialist once offering workshops and cosultations on teaching to a heaalth education faculty
2010-03-05 12:13:52 [Message] JenM -> Room 1: @lisa ... it is if you are doing training for NASA :)
2010-03-05 12:14:04 [Message] mrsdurff -> Room 1: ok, touche
2010-03-05 12:14:09 [Message] mrsdurff -> Room 1: ouch
2010-03-05 12:14:36 [Message] Cammy Bean -> Room 1: corporate is focused on performance outcomes.
2010-03-05 12:15:58 [Message] linda u -> Room 1: Depends on the content of the course, in some corporate courses, you really do need critical thinking in order to apply what you learn...maybe not in sales training, but in using sophisticated processes, complex enterprise software, etc
2010-03-05 12:16:12 [Message] Cammy Bean -> Room 1: Ethics, leadership...more behavioral focus.
2010-03-05 12:16:54 [Message] linda u -> Room 1: Sophisticated training that develop skills (how to be an effective programmer in a specific programming language, etc), needs critical thinking in order to apply
2010-03-05 12:17:55 [Message] linda u -> Room 1: I think often that "corporate training" is too limited...focus is on the "improve sales rep goals" improve "customer support"...lots of other kinds of corporate-level training, as well
2010-03-05 12:19:43 [Message] mary engstrom -> Room 1: @Linda U: I see those things as human performance "problems" rather than instructional ones (eg: ones that can be solved via instruction)
2010-03-05 12:20:31 [Message] linda u -> Room 1: MaryE: Can be seen that way, however there are lots of courses that are involved in that process. And the ID for those courses needs to have broader picture in mind
2010-03-05 12:21:07 [Message] mary engstrom -> Room 1: Agreed.
2010-03-05 12:21:07 [Message] mrsdurff -> Room 1: hi srenatee

2010-03-05 12:25:14 [Message] JenM -> Room 1: (as I think of instructional design)
2010-03-05 12:26:02 [Message] linda u -> Room 1: Robert your voice got very soft
2010-03-05 12:26:36 [Message] Robert Squires -> Room 1: Thanks--got it
2010-03-05 12:30:02 [Message] linda u -> Room 1: Challenge for developing corporate training that is purchased by a customer: how to measure behavior change? Needs to be driven from within company
2010-03-05 12:30:14 [Message] linda u -> Room 1: Results may never come back to the instructional designer
2010-03-05 12:31:08 [Message] K_Smith -> Room 1: Good Examples as long as we know if the performance environment changed and impacts performance (as U said)
2010-03-05 12:31:40 [Message] K_Smith -> Room 1: :-D
