I am in the largest group, clinical education, but many of our departments have their own training specialists. There are currently two instructional designers in our organization, though we do not often work directly with one another. <BR/><BR/>One of the facets of my job is that my field is adult education, business education, and organizational communication. My skill set is both learning-focused as well as business-focused, so I bring what I consider to be more of a holistic perspective to the design of instruction.<BR/><BR/>This is odd since our organization is large enough that we can have specialists who do only one thing well, but I am intersted in so many things I find that over-specialization somewhat constraining.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28999673.post-87545534204080172212008-02-15T12:29:00.000-05:002008-02-15T12:29:00.000-05:00Jeffrey..great post!
