Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

According to the authors, "while instructional designers have a strong  awareness  of, and desire to advocate for, OEP in their institutions, their ability to move forward was limited by perceived barriers such as lack of relevant mandates and professional workload recognition, policy development and funding, awareness, and leadership support." These are just the things that might change as a result of the current crisis in education - or, they might just be the points where administrations clamp down, reducing instructional designers to the role of servicing commercial learning initiatives. Anyhow, this is a survey of perceptions paper (17 page PDF), so a lot depends on the sampling process, which (as usual) is weak, with only 43 self-selected surveys being returned.
