Clark Quinn on ID Malpractice

Clark Quinn, a self-avowed genial malcontent and agent provocateur, likes to stir things up in the name of better learning designs! Sounds a bit like us, eh? Have a listen as Cammy and Clark unravel the crime of Instructional Design Malpractice, currently being committed in an e-learning programme near you.

With more than 30 years of experience in the field and a PhD in applied cognitive science, Clark speaks from a place of understanding of both theory and practice. He has pioneered educational computer games, web conferences, school design competitions, online learning games, intelligently adaptive systems, mobile applications, and more. He currently works through Quinnovation and is the author of Engaging Learning: Designing e-Learning Simulation Games. Look out for his upcoming book on mobile learning, to be released in winter 2011.

Be sure to catch up with Clark on his blog, Learnlets, and on Twitter where he actively participates as @Quinnovator.
