Week 2: Reading 3

On the IT Forum: April 2004 archive, contemporary learning architects discuss the term learning architect. I'm thinking about terms like learning facilitator or instructional architect. In the vein of designing learning - design can mean to have as a goal or purpose; intend. So a few quick substitutions later, could a learning designer be one who has learning as a goal or purpose? Keep substituting, because the word architect is synonymous with designer. This is only one path. I think the selling point of the field is that it is dynamic, fluid, and everyone seems to have a point a view -- isn't that kind of what Rieber was getting at, anyhow?

Can an Instructional Technologist inspire learning? Is igniting a spark of interest in a subject matter making learning happen?

Being a graphic designer, my favorite definition for design has to be a secretive plot or scheme. But that's another story.
