Hi!

Welcome to my learning nerd website! I share about instructional design, designing online learning experiences, and higher education. My purpose is to help you along your own instructional design journey.

EP-07: What I Wish I Knew Before Becoming an Instructional Designer

What do Instructional Designers wish they knew before becoming IDs? I couldn’t find this information anywhere, so I did the research. I asked 50 Instructional Designers what they wish they knew before becoming IDs. Here's what they said:

  • Explaining What an Instructional Designer Does

  • Learning Project Management Skills

  • Developing a Brand and Portfolio

  • Knowing Instructional Design is a Career and is Worth Pursuing

  • Working with Difficult SMEs and Building Relationships with Faculty
