Elearning in the real world

While reading articles 5a and 5b I found it very interesting to get a glimpse of the real world of instructional design. I have always realized that the business world is different from the classroom but wow I don't think I realized how fast paced it seems to be. While completing the instructional design projects I never realized the time constraints placed on the actual designers. I can't imagine having to complete all of the ADDIE steps in under 3 or 4 weeks! That is crazy! If anyone in our blog has more real world experience I would love to hear about it!
