Interview with Instructional Design Pioneer, Dean Pichee
It is often a challenge to find the pioneers of instructional design for not only e-learning, but also the days of CBT (Computer-Based Training) and before that when we had LANs and WANs with text driven content that went out to the masses. Anyone who grew up during those days, remembers when office computers, and even home, had a monochrome screen. In the mid 80’s, modems showed up, with a whopping 2.2Kbs (Prodigy) and you might be lucky to have a color screen. We are talking floppy disks (5 and a quarter inch) and no hard drive.
I had one for grad school. It was the latest with dual floppy drives, a dot matrix printer, and a color screen (not what you are thinking of today – it was a CGA). Whoo-hoo. Earl Weaver baseball though was amazing.
