Most of us who have been stand-up instructors are not accustomed to engaging the student as a partner in the instructional process. Also, we have to make sure the instructional design choices match the learning style of the students. If a corporation has many 20-something road warriors who dial in from hotel rooms and are extremely energetic and intelligent, it requires different instructional design than if you have a more mature set of executives. We've been very pleased with and surprised by the interest. Now, the issue is not how many but how good these courses are.
Colleges are quite concerned.
Most administrators in higher ed have no background in this area. They realize they don't know how to assess quality until it's too late. It's very important to pilot these courses. What's amazing is that hardly any of the course developers we asked said they do it. Also, it's very important to get some sense of the success of the people who actually took the course.
