One thing that I felt was reinforced most was the importance of having a problem that needs solving. It seemed that almost everyone went through the process of deciding whether they filled a need, or their instruction was redundant.
There was something else that I found interesting. From my point of view, many of the groups jumped all over in the steps. While it's a good thing to revise your instruction, I think it is a bad thing to revise your instruction after the analysis phase because you already had a rough draft of your instruction. I do think that analysis should always be first, because designing a rough draft could lead you to ignore some of your analysis if it goes against what you already created. I think we mostly knew that we wanted to have a job aid, so we did select a media early, but we've learned that job aids are good for psychomotor instruction.
Finally, I would say that the next thing I learned tonight is: time. It takes a whole lot of time to go through this process, and I can only imagine what it would be like to do this full time and have millions of dollars at stake.
