eLearning Technology - Monday, April 28, 2008 - CommentsBad Course on Instructional Design
I just posted about eLearning Design and Development Training Course listing two examples of courses that talked about instructional design for eLearning. Whoops. I should have looked more closely.The course from MyUdutu ( http://publish.myudutu.com/published/courses/140/Course867/v2007_5_9_15_41_...)may talk about it, but it is a classic example of what not to do in eLearning.
