Before now I was wondering the connection between instructional design and learning, until i found this link and see the connection.

The blog, 'Instructional Design', offered some good information from other blog authors. The link to 'Effective Learning Programs Development' was one of interest to me. The blog highlights what the author categorizes as three key entities to an Instructional Design team structure: corporate learning and development teams, external vendors and off-the-shelf learning. The information shared was insightful and something I found related to my current work situation.
