EP-75: Instructional Design Q&A with Dr. Heidi Kirby and William Cronje

Joining us today are the wonderful Dr. Heidi Kirby and William Cronje!

Today's questions:

• What are the best ways to list learning objectives at the course and unit levels in a way that learners can effectively connect with them and understand what they will learn?

• Why hasn't AI been able to replicate human voice and mannerisms yet for the ed tech space?

• What exactly is learning engineering, and how is it different from instructional design and learning experience design (LXD)?

• Should instructional designers have web development skills like HTML, CSS and JavaScript?

• Will instructional designers replace the traditional learning and development roles in corporate training that are mostly human resource roles today?

• Is there a trend towards more corporations promoting senior instructional designers to the role of Chief Learning Officer or will that continue to be a human resource role?
