I wholeheartedly agree that content production is becoming extinct. We recently had a colleague who stated ... "the emphasis should be on creating the "learning experience" and the content will take care of itself." What a beautiful concept! Maybe this is an issue of educators and instructional designers who do not want to think creatively outside of ADDIE. It's easier to use a template type of course design concept rather than to design a course in the abstract. I know this kind of thinking is not for everybody. It's hard for some to accept and that's o.k. If we were more accepting of other ideas, and allow for trial and error before we reject ideas straight out of hand ... what a rich learning environment practitioners would have to learn from each other!!!

Anything that turns things upside down or inside out is great with me. For everyone reading this, I want to add a footnote: I know that there are different needs for different subject matters. I know there is value in writing content (to a certain degree). I'm just a little tired of the sacred cow of "content is king." If the content you are writing for your course really helps the students, keep using it. As long as you realize that you are not the only source or voice that students can get your content from. @Doug – In my corner of Higher Ed, ADDIE is king, and we are branded heretics for questioning it :) I do like backward design, though.

It usually works best in domains which have figured out the skills and concepts people need to understand (standards). I've heard of it being applied in nursing education and the insurance industry, for example. There is backward design, the most popular ID model in K-12 and higher education.
