Worth Lookmarking

Hello,

Your recent article on 'The Word Spy' in the March-April issue of Indus is good. For some reason, I have always been interested in the derivation of words, and fascinated by the process used in coining new words, so your review of this website was very welcome. As you suggested, I have 'must-lookmarked' this site, and will visit it and the Indus site often.

Thanks

Total Recall

Dear editors,

I thoroughly enjoyed the article, Task Analysis - An Information Architecture Model, from the Mar-Apr 2005 issue of Indus. I suppose some of that can be attributed to the fact that I used to be a curriculum developer in a previous life. And I must confess that the article brought back fond memories: fierce verbal duels (in the right spirit, of course) with colleagues when deciding which instructional design strategy to adopt. Of course, I do realize that in her article, Maya Hoizal, was referring to Task Analysis in the context of Information Architecture. But that didn't stop me from encountering a phenomenon that gained more currency, courtesy Arnold Schwarzenegger: Total Recall. :)

I do want to add though that Task Analysis as a strategy is not the exclusive preserve of Information Architecture or Instructional Design. It can be applied to any field that requires a detailed study and breakdown of a macro activity into clear, well-defined bit-sized chunks. Looking at it another way, Task Analysis cuts right through the fog. 

Thanks for the article indeed.
