John Helmer talks to Leonard Houx, Director at the eLearning Network and Senior Instructional Designer at Cass Business School. In an age when people who do his job are more often called learning designers or learning experience designers, how relevant is the history of instructional design to challenges we face today? As someone who knows both higher education and organisational learning, Leonard is uniquely placed to give insights on both. He also talks about his early love of skateboarding and how it causes him to reflect on how successive generations of designers tend to reinvent the wheel. 01:24 Skateboarding and Instructional Design 03:52 Who should we be reading? 04:51 ID in Higher Education 08:55 Pitfalls of learning experience design 12:43 Zombie Ideas 20:19 Can people learn from experience? 28:09 Learning experience design and UX 34:30 Ignorance of ID in Higher Ed
