However, in my post I am focusing on creative ideas to design macro and micro strategies. You have done audience analysis, laid down the performance objectives....gathered all possible information... What next?? As you have rightly used the word Brainstorm...... How do you generate ideas to make the course interesting? Can anyone teach you to generate creative ideas? These are some pivotal questions. Hi Rupen,

What you say about unique representation of themes/concepts is so true. Sometimes I think we get so locked into how to do things effectively that we rely on prescriptions and best know methods too consistently, instead of trying to look at different ways to present or teach something. I've been going through sort of a rebirth in terms of understanding and learning how to apply technology to learning. I guess I could always learn about new ways of doing things, but I wasn't always given the opportunity to apply them in my job. I came from working in a rather restricted environment (resources and application-wise), so I feel like I'm trying to apply and learn things that are not so new to a great many people, but new to myself.
