I am constantly surprised by all the new applications and web tools that are becoming available for use. As they come available, I am also constantly wondering "How can these tools be used in instructional design projects?"
Last week I was introduced to song playlist sites where one can create their personal song list to be shared openly or used personally. I also reviewed historical speeches, creative commercials, poetic movies, appealing graphs and other beautifully developed formats to look at what do they have to with instructional design and messaging.
I feel that we as designers of instruction just might need to look at the creative possibilities that can be explored when developing instructional materials. Using music or capitalizing on the creative play of typography should be fully employed. So, then, instructional materials should also be eye candy and ear candy. I think of a reason they ought not be.
