He was tapped by Boeing to form a team of insructional designers to create the course of instruction for the pilots and maintenence crews for the 777 aircraft. The idea that someone with absolutely no experience in an industry could use a simple (but not necessarily easy) process to develop a course of instruction to train trainers whose students would ultimately be responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of people.
My semester project was a Patrol Rifle course that was the first for my agency.
I look forward to your classes if you ever get to the desert southwest, or I can get out to your neck of the woods.
