Because we made a habit of sending our development team members to trade shows, Clark had the experience of encountering the team from the newly-formed Spinnaker Software. At the time, DesignWare was a development house and not heavily involved in marketing our individual titles — we served as a “corporate author” for other publishers. The venture we signed with Spinnaker was our first foray into “consumer” educational titles. They published our Story Machine and Facemaker titles. Probably our best known title was Spellicopter.

Thank you for sharing your story. I found it to be quite fascinating. I am very interested in hearing about how others have come to the field since, when asked, many people do not even seem to know what instructional design is.

What really interests me, as an aside, is that I’ve also been thinking of calling myself an LXD – Learning Experience Designer. For probably the past 10 years, I’ve just felt that “Instructional Designer” was just too limiting of a term and only described a fraction of what I and many LXDers do. So I like the label and have been thinking of adopting it myself.

Interesting story. Thanks.]]> Oh wow… I remember playing FaceMaker as a kid. I probably haven’t seen or thought about that box art for 25 years, but I recognized it instantly.

Interesting story. Thanks.

I designed (my) formal learning courses (according to my own approaches), and refined them based upon feedback. I was quite out of synch with my colleagues: I wanted to make a constructivist approach core in the first year, so that the students would demand it going forward (or so I imagined); I was told that maybe it would fit in the 3rd year (after it was too late). And, yes, I lectured. But I also assigned rather complex assignments. Probably could’ve done a better job of aligning the two.

I have to say that my learning designs were never greeted with great excitement by the students used to other pedagogies, but afterwards there was considerable evidence both from the learning outcomes, and the subsequent comments, that the design worked. Obviously, more so as I got more experience and feedback.

I can’t help but notice that, amongst all the things you mention drawing you to learning experience design, you barely mention your time spent as a professional teacher of the more traditional sort; giving lectures at university…
