In reply to Jenny Erickson. I like the idea of open source learning platform, that can be a great initiative to have a one rich source providing access to learning material, with diversity in content, style, subject, and languages. Though there is a lot of material available online, but having a one platform is a great idea!

I really like your thoughts here Marwa! I have noticed this trend towards open source development in other industries (my husband works in data science and has watched open source programming do great things for the industry). I love the thought of what an open source learning platform could do for instructional design. Sharing our progress with others allows us to spend our time advancing our learning instead of remaking the wheel.

Even now, people who once existed as educational silos can virtually connect to form previously impossible educational teams. I can only imagine what an open source learning platform might bring.

Very interesting- Thanks for Sharing,

Jenny

In reply to Nate Angell.

Hello Nate and thank you sharing your thoughts and experience. I am sure it is amazing and inspiring to work with people such as Dr. Wiley. Personally I have been impacted by great mentors who have encouraged me to always find a way to give back.

I really loved your approach with the “bingo card” and how it can help interested educators in opening up their learning inputs by using the card to answer the question of “What dimensions of openness does this learning experience incorporate and generate?” I find answering this question would direct creators to areas that can be opened up to have bigger and wider impact.

I would definitely want to explore this card on materials I create.

Hello Kristin

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I connect with you on how instructional design is challenging and multifaceted. These attributes are what make me enjoy working in this field, it also pushes me to think outside the box and encourages me to always adopt new practices and styles.

Good luck!

Best,

Great post Marwa! I used to work with David Wiley and was similarly influenced by his commitment to open education. Not too long ago, I collaborated with some others in the open education community to create what started as a rubric, but ended up being a “bingo card” to consider the “openness” of educational activities: http://xolotl.org/okp-learning-experience-bingo-2-0/

I think a lot of the dimensions of openness dovetail with considerations of social responsibility.

You have brought up a few great points that I did not consider when I initially responded to this post in my own blog. The first is that, while I can’t quite articulate who I am as an instructional designer at this stage in my professional development, I am able to describe what features of this profession appealed to me most.

As you mentioned, I too was attracted to instructional design because of its focus on research, development, and diversity. I appreciate the fact that I can create very different products for a wide variety of clients and purposes. I also like this field because I find it personally challenging and multifaceted.

I look forward to discussing the needs of my clients and curating an educational resource that uniquely satisfies their performance and learning goals.
