I look forward to this discussion and reporting back your insights! To add to the questions above, how has the global pandemic shifting product development best practices? 

[Jerry Sutton]

Good morning all.  I'm truly looking forward to this discussion.  Point to ponder:  When COVID-19 began its spread across the US, we were in a reactive mode regarding learning.  Are we still in a reactive mode, or do you think we've caught up and are now devising learning strategy that would see us anticipate possible outcomes for the post COVID-19 shift?

[Paul Terlemezian]

If we were in reactive mode (and I think we were) - what does this tell us about the learning models we have been using that promised us we would be prepared if we used them?

I wonder what models (if any) exist to accelerate and sustain proactive learning strategies?

[Jerry Sutton]

In the traditional sense, Instructional Design is a cumbersome process.  I believe we need a hybrid approach that will achieve the same outcomes we seek, but is flexible enough to provide a rapid means of development.  We need to examine and prioritize the outcomes and what they should look like to meet the current learning demand.
