Thoughts on Surveyed Instructional Design Blog Sites


I have had the pleasure of researching several instructional design blogs. There were so many to choose from, but the following three, I believe, will serve as ongoing resources as I complete my graduate degree and begin my career in the instructional design and technology field.

The first site is eLearning Technology http://blog.thewritersgateway.com/begin-here/

This site provided an insight into instructional design and technology. The blogger also provides hyperlinked articles to the information that is discussed on the site. The site owner, Dr. Tony Karrer, provides readers with resources on instructional designing. Dr. Karrer also provides a guide for First Timers, who are getting into the career of instructional designing. It is my opinion that this site will be a great resource during my studies and long after my career as began as an instructional designer.

The second site is Cammy Bean’s Learning Visions http://cammybean.kineo.com/

Cammy Bean’s site provides interactive training for instructional designers. This site can serve as a tool for new students. This site has referenced books, websites, as well as, interactive presentations created by Bean for student perusal. Bean also provides many eLearning resources for our perusal. Cammy Bean is a vice president of Kineo learning designs, a the company provides training and instructional design for many corporations.

The final site is Cathy Moore’s: Let’s save the world from boring eLearning http://blog.cathy-moore.com/

This website is full of resources that will aid in providing interactive eLearning for instructional designers.  These resources will give designer information on how to make their eLearning materials exciting. The site also provides needs assessments for eLearning. Out of the three sites, I believe that Cathy Moore’s site is the most resourceful and packed with information that will drive designers into the future.
