Hill AFB Reflection

The trip to Hill AFB was an excellent view of an instructional design team.  They had quite a large team that allowed each person to specialize in their area, although they still had to work together as one unit.  It was good to see first hand the use of the ADDIE model.   It helped me to see how relevant it can be in the workplace.   A visual representation in the workplace helped to cement the concepts we are learning in my memory.

 

I didn't realize until the trip how many people actually work on the base.  From what I gathered, Hill AFB is somewhat unique in their large civilian workforce, but it was still surprising to me.  It sounds like their instructional design team is working really hard to capture people's knowledge before they retire, which is quite an undertaking.  The idea of capturing that knowledge is an excellent one.
