I'm still new in that whole area. After the book is out, I plan on asking if I can do the same as you. Never hurts to ask, right? :) I was noticing your Learnlets blog has some great thoughts on questioning ADDIE (among other issues as well).

I also think about a 'slow learning' model that goes from event-based (or flood) to a long-term micro-development model (drip irrigation). Mobile, context-sensitive, semantic, crossing performance support with education, etc. Agree with the problem with the price of books. Can I suggest you be more persistent in your negotiations next time? I got a publisher to let me put copies of my chapter in an edited compilation up on my site (with proper disclaimers, pointers to the book, etc). So while I can't post the whole chapter in my blog (it would be a *long* posting ;), I can point to it from my blog, and host the PDF for downloading from my site. Can be done.
