Instructional Technology discussion boards and forums

I did a Google search on Instructional Technology forums and ran across the site for Instructional Design Central (http://www.instructionaldesigncentral.com/idforum/) . This site is a discussion forum and blog for instructional designers. I noticed a discussion posting regarding an instructional design course in India. The course description lists tons of course topics to be covered in a 30 day period. The topics range from ADDIE model, Rapid Prototype Modeling, Instructional Design types and modes, Captivate, Camtasia, Dreamweaver, and the list goes on. Being fairly new to the instructional design world, this course seems to be pretty exhaustive, but I question the level of thoroughness of each topic. It seems to me that this course would be better suited for a more advanced instructional designer looking for a refresher or exposure to new types of technology available for instructional design. It would be interesting to see how much a class like this would be and the number of past learners that have attended this course. The deeper I explore instructional technology, the broader the concept ranges, which means endless possibilities for future careers.
