This is amazing. Thanks, Tom for being so generous with everything you do. As a beginner, it’s great to have such a rich resource.
I think Mark Twain said it best in that he never let his schooling interfere with his education.
I spent a decade successfully designing and developing courses and entire educational programs in the military before I had my first degree; a BA in Psychology specializing in learning and cognition. I went to several military schools to learn the skills needed and these schools were designed by people with instructional design (ID) degrees. I have since left the military and first pursued a Masters in ID & Online Learning and then a second Masters in ID & Human Performance Technology. I found my military ID training and practice made learning the graduate level materials very easy.
Do I believe a “degree” in ID is required, no; I never confuse education with intelligence. Is a certain depth of formal, informal, and non-formal learning in the areas of learning, ID, psychology, and technology required, YES. Failure to receive this learning will result in lots of action but little forward motion towards the intended outcome.
Just my humble opinion.
