Instructional Delivery Expert (IDE) and Subject Matter Expert (SME): can they be complementary?
I just wonder if IDE and SME complement each other! As a student, I got both IDE and SME, but not a single time have I witnessed an instructor that possessed both. Those instructors that are extremely genius in their subject area tend to be poor communicators. The ones that are excellent communicators lack profundity in subject areas. Why is that?
Dear Gina,
Great list of duality (pair), anatagonistic characters, repelling poles, .....
However, why so? Could it be because one part of your talent is developed (used a lot) with the expense of the other?? I think so. I do not see any natural cause of the above contradicting pairs
Its almost a mind vs. matter situtation....hands-on vs. textbook...communication vs. genius...great question, great goal to work to achieve....hmmmm endless possibilities!
