This document discusses paired instructional design, where two instructional designers collaborate on instructional design projects. Some benefits of paired design discussed include shared workload, bringing additional perspectives, improving morale and problem solving abilities. The document also reflects on experiences with paired design projects at the authors' institution, noting both advantages like enriched perspectives and workload sharing, as well as potential drawbacks like navigating conflicts and increased communication needs. It suggests promising areas to apply paired design, such as with novice/expert pairings or complex projects, and looks ahead to expanding paired design approaches.

10. Reflec5ons
• CriCcal
flexibility
• Important
to
be
"criCcally
reflecCve"
pracCcConers.
Yanchar
and
Gabbitas
(2010)
characterize
this
as
a
type
of
pracCce-­‐oriented
inquiry
that
can
“avoid
a
type
of
design
complacency—for
example,
relying
on
a
stock
set
of
techniques—and
seek
deeper,
possibly
transformed,
understandings
of
what
they
do
and
why
they
do
it;
and
they
will
be
conCnually
open
to
innovaCve
(yet-­‐to-­‐be-­‐tested)
ways
of
making
design
decisions
and
solving
instrucConal
problems.”
