Just in Time...too late!

I got a kick out of tonight's article. We are finally on the home stretch for the whole design project thing and today we read an article about how to cut corners! Actually, I do see the rationale for doing Just in Time Design. I am glad we are learning the entire process though, without cutting corners, because these are valuable tools that we will need. I think I need to practice this many more times before I have it down, however. Then maybe someday when I feel like an expert, I will feel comfortable in finding ways to slim down process.
Something else I have been thinking about. I noticed at the beginning of chapter 9 that the authors encourage our first design project to be self-paced or self-taught. I know Dr. Monson mentioned that a few weeks ago, but by then it was too late for our project. Looking back on our project, I wonder how it would be put together if it were computer based instead of instructor led. I can see that you would need to rely more heavily on learning theories and sound design instead of relying more heavily on the instructor. Oh, well. I'm sure there will be many more opportunities to come!
