SITE interview - guerrilla video

Fred Baker of the University of South Alabama engaged me in a quick interview at the SITE conference in New Orleans in March. I briefly traced my career:

     Fred Baker and Brent Wilson (5-minute video)

     Conversation at SITE

     New Orlean, 26 March

I outlined my experience in the field and the various emphases I’ve given to different ideas:

• Taught as a doctoral student of Dave Merrill in instructional theory (behaviorism)
• Helped integrate cognitive learning theory
• Moved in the 1980s to performance improvement principles
• 1990s: Constructivism and postmodern thinking
• 2000s: Aesthetics, learning experience
• 2010s: Practice theory and critical stance

The video reflects my current thinking on the practice of instructional design. Thanks Fred for capturing the moment!
