Session Description: In the age of informal learning, PodCasts, user-created content, rapid development and Googling to Fingertip Knowledge, is there still a role for Instructional Design? Do we still need instructional objectives, needs analysis and (scope/sequence) when we can just post a 2-minute video with relevant content?
