2 of the Funniest Instructional Design Related Videos

Posted by Karl Kapp on October 21, 2011

I’ve posted both of these videos before but I am posting them again, any time I feel a little overwhelmed, they always bring a smile to my face and they are a bit ID related…especially the one about building a stop sign, I have totally experienced that meeting.

Number 2: Death Star Help Desk Interview

Here is my original post on the Death Star Help Desk post. Why is it in the Semi-Training Related series? Because training and “help desks” are so intertwined and helpdesk issues, if tracked properly, become part of training…but some things just can’t be “trained.” And because I’ve made the “ID Ten T” error millions of times.

Number 1: Building a “Stop Sign”

This video is in the semi-training collection because it is so scary…its funny.
I love this line, “We are primarily targeting women but also targeting men secondarily“…It seems client always wants online learning to teach as much information to as many people as possible but still…they always have some sort of “target audience” in mind (and then they wonder why the online learning isn’t as effective as it could be??)

So, anyone who has worked with an instructional design or training client has encountered this scenario. I love the women who announces that “Fire Engine” Red is owned by the fire company…a stakeholder arises out of nowhere and changes the scope…oh I’ve so been there. That is why this is the number one Top 5 Funny and Semi-Learning Related Video.

Here is my original post on Building a Stop Sign.

Hope you got a laugh out of the videos and that they made you think a little about learning events…let’s not take ourselves too seriously and let’s always have fun.

If you know of other funny semi-learning related videos, please post a link in the comments…share the laughs.
