Episode description
Which instructional design path should you follow: higher education or corporate? It’s a fantastic question that many instructional designers are trying to answer. On today’s episode, Heidi Kirby, host of the BLOC podcast, shares her perspectives about being a corporate instructional designer. We break down several topics about being an instructional designer and share our experiences. There isn’t a right or wrong answer here, but this episode will help to steer you in the right direction.
Here’s what we talk about:
Technical Skills
- Working with SMEs (who are those SMEs and how they're different)
- The audience (students v. employees)
- Who is delivering the message
- Designing with learning outcomes in mind
- How success is measured/ROI
- Timing of projects/due dates
- Autonomy versus close management
- E-learning tools v. LMS
- Common project constraints
