“What does an instructional designer actually do?” A quick Google search will pop up some amazing videos, podcasts, and blogs about a day in the life of an instructional designer from a corporate perspective or a freelance perspective. I didn’t see the same types of results though for higher education, and I have an educated guess as to why: it’s ridiculously hard to describe the typical day.

In today’s episode, I break down a day in the life of an instructional designer at MIT and share a few tips for new IDs thinking about the higher ed field.
