SME web comic
I can take absolutely no credit for this. I have a printed copy taped up near my desk, and I think clearly shows the number one conflict between SMEs and IDs. SMEs want to pass on all knowledge immediately because it is all important and necessary. IDs want to organize that into comfortable chunks for the learners.
To give credit, this is from one of my favorite blogs, Usable Learning.
Sorry about the quality, I scanned in my copy!
We've all had to sit through this course...

Love this comic strip, Kristen! I would also say this “story” is applicable to many training solutions out there–we want to dump everything we know on our learners in an “all inclusive” course that doesn’t take into account the value of “just in time” learning. I think I’ll use this as part of kick off meetings for new training design/development projects!

Glad you liked it! (Hands down, that was the most popular post on the blog last year)
