I should really have been writting my first posting, but instead I've spent a chunk of time reading and thinking about the whole process and my whole project. I few quite ideas have come together, the ideas of carroll's minimialist ID stuff are great because I can see the interelationship being Merrill and Constructivisim in these ideas.
When I've been reading I've been thinking about my project, (scripting for designers) which sort of limits some of my confusion, but I cans see how things are starting to eg situated learning actually relates to minialmism.
