Crafting White Hat Learning Experiences:
I watched an interview with my favorite musician. One question was, how do you write songs? He said there are many ways songs get written, and no one method is best. This is how I see instructional design. There are many paths to success.
I work to find unique solutions for each learning need and challenge.

Sometimes the words come first.
-
Sometimes a few notes come and then the music.
-
Sometimes the music and the words seem to fall out of the guitar.

White Hat Red Flag Warning!
Champions & SMEs
Excellent purpose-fit learning programs can fail. A lack of champions driving success during all phases in the program's life cycle creates risky situations. Champions must hold the Subject Matter Experts (SME) accountable.
