I also think that sometimes you need to decide when feedback is helpful or useless if you are not planning on taking it regardless. Don't waste someone's time by asking for their feedback if you don't plan on listening to what they have to say. “Be loyal to the learner” rings true to me, in particular when thinking about your own stylistic preferences or ideas.

]]> Comment on Corporate Learners, the Renaissance, and Autodidacticism by John M Gillis http://blog.allencomm.com/index.php/2011/11/corporate-learners-the-renaissance-and-autodidacticism/#comment-271 John M Gillis Sun, 27 Nov 2011 13:30:20 +0000 http://blog.allencomm.com/?p=790#comment-271 I too thought that Betsy Sparrow's talk on Transactive Memory provided a great paradigm for the conference. Also, in application, there are huge impacts on consulting teams or other short-term groups needing to perform. Just like her husband/wife example, each person on a team develops clear roles and perceived expertise - whether stated externally or just understood internally. This tacit knowledge, the speed to build this knowledge, and the alignment of each team member's understanding - are critical to the team performance.

]]> Comment on Instructional Design? There’s an app for that! by Nuno http://blog.allencomm.com/index.php/2011/08/instructional-design-theres-an-app-for-that/#comment-232 Nuno Wed, 16 Nov 2011 08:07:12 +0000 http://blog.allencomm.com/?p=663#comment-232 I'm using Design Jot and so far it seems a great tool - Is there any way to export each project to a format that is compatible with Office tools? Although I'm developing it in Design Jot I'll have to share the outputs with people that don't necessarily have the app. Appreciate your help on this.
