The Art of Knowledge
Amen!
Dusk and Dawn has always been straight up and sort of opinionated about his Elearning theories. So I always look forward to going to his sight for some related angst when it comes to figuring things out. He echoes (writes an introduction to) my sediments found below in "Ask Yourself".
- The effectiveness of your learning product is inversely proportional to your ability to make a living
I.e. it is much easier to make money producing things that don't necessarily help the target audience learn/perform.

If you don't know what game you are playing, how can you win?
Everybody thinks they are right. However, this has to be judged in the context of what game is being played. Simulations, communities, etc. may be fantastic learning models but they may not help you win the profit game. Everyone is playing games...are you playing the same game as your customers?
That "your customers" should be related a little deeper to " the people who you are trying to help". But other than that I agree. I want to have coffee with this guy.
