4. Design or Develop?
   Sarah

   If you are looking for an Instructional Design course then you might want to try reading Michael Allen, but unfortunately you would need to travel to the USA at the moment to benefit from one of his courses. His books support the ASTD learning design certificate programme.

   He will advise that you bury much of what ‘traditional’ e-learning ID courses teach, but if you read his books first and like the approach (which is common sense) you might save yourself some money by avoiding some of the dross that is out there.

   If its course development training that you need, take a look at http://www.suddenlysmart.com I will declare my interest in recommending this as we are a UK reseller!!, but you will be glad that you have looked at the product, i promise you!
