Where's the Id in your ID?

Blogging is kind of about Ego (let's face it). Instructional Design is sort of the Super-Ego of Learning. And we should strive to put more Id in our ID.

This means stories, games, humor -- the stuff of life. Why? Because learning is a non-stop part of life.

And in eLearning in particular, the human guide disappears to be replaced by the learner's personal relationship with -- the computer. Do you like your personal relationships to be dry and stiff? No, you probably swap stories, play games, and share jokes. That's probably what learners do online for the most part anyway.

So, how do I propose to achieve the Id-ification of Edification? I'll get back to you on that.

(With less Freud because I am no Psychology SME. And more complete sentences. My pledge to you.)
