Episode description

In this episode, Leslie and I talk about some of the controversial thoughts and ideas educators and IDs bring to the table: including pedagogy versus andragogy, where learning objectives belong, and the myth of learning styles. *Gasp* Leslie shares her perspective as both and educator and an instructional designer.

Leslie Early is an instructional designer focused on developing engaging digital content that incorporates the best of storytelling, graphic design, and adult learning theory. In a past life, she taught ESL and elementary education for 10+ years. Lessons Leslie learned there include the value of project-based learning and how to make lessons rewarding, self-directed, and fun.
