Folks to Watch. 5 Instructional Design Traps to Avoid. Excellent e-Learning is built on solid instructional design decisions. But for those of us without the budgetary luxury of an in-house instructional designer, tackling instructional design is sometimes easier said than done.

You’ve probably started to think “Oh, another designers-do-this-designers-do-that” article and started to look for more interesting reading. It’s not that kind of an article so stay with me for a few minutes — perhaps it will help you to understand exactly whats goes on in the minds of your users when looking at your products. Perhaps it will even help with those fancy business words that seem to show up everywhere these days — conversion, ROI etc… In this article I’ll try to use a bit different approach , the one that contains facts about us — humans.
