I have an M.Ed. in Instructional Technology Design. Recently started re-reading my old ID textbooks. And doing some internet searches for Instructional Designer Competencies. There is so much. I have only been a 'degree-d' ID for 3 years--but I know it is my professional obligation to stay knowledgeable about past and present practices and research. For instructional design and eLearning. This post really means alot. Its 3:42 am. I can rest and start on this list tomorrow.

It looks like I have a lot of reading to do. Although I cannot claim I am an "instructional designer," I design instruction daily at the front lines of public education in the classroom. IMHO, there is no other method to mastery in any field than apprentice with a master or several masters and then practice, practice, practice. So who are the masters? Here's a list of several of my favorites: Physlrnr - a listserv of dynamic physics educators discussing what works at the cutting edge of science education. VanTH/ERC - an engineering research consortium between Vanderbilt, Northwestern, MIT and Harvard promoting challenge-based bioengineering curriculum development based on the "How People Learn" Legacy Cycle. Concord Consortium - a group dedicated to deep, persistent understandings through the use of interactive math and science visualization tools One might argue that these are domain specific, but I would point them to your idea so well expressed above: "What Engineers Know and How They Know it, by Walter G. Vincenti. A book on how engineers solve design problems. After all, aren’t we educational engineers?" Ciao, Gregory Hi Dr. Curry,
