You might be hearing a lot about instructional design right now, especially if you're a teacher looking to leave the classroom. But have you been wondering, "Would I Make a Good Instructional Designer?" I recorded a podcast episode that talks about the traits you need to have to be good at this career! Take a listen & let me know if you would add any other traits!

👩‍🏫 Are you a hashtag #transitioningteacher looking to get started in the field of #instructionaldesign? 💯 Learning about the phases of ADDIE and how you can put this model to use as you design eLearning courses is a fundamental first step! You've probably heard people discussing the learning development model called ADDIE and wondered what it is or how to use it effectively. This is a brief introduction to each phase of the ADDIE model so you can get an idea of what goes into each step of the design process. I hope it's helpful!

For those of you new to instructional design, it can be hard to bridge the gap between the theories of adult learning and the practical application of those theories. And it's for that reason why familiarizing yourself with Malcolm Knowles' Principles of Adult Learning is a great place to get started! While Knowles' work starts with his five assumptions of adult learners, which is a great basis for understanding what creates the most optimal conduction for an adult learning experience...it's his four principles where things turn practical. So, if you're new to instructional design, check out our article from our Knowledge Base for a good primer to help you understand adult learning theory and Malcolm Knowles' Principles. We also provide specific and real-world examples of how you can incorporate his principles into your own projects! 👉 Check out the article with the link down in the comments! #eLearning #InstructionalDesign #LearningAndDevelopment

Instructional Design goes beyond gathering and creating teaching materials. It’s a method of thinking. You know the content; the instructional designer knows learning. Working with an instructional designer is an ideal collaboration for anyone creating a course. Do you need to teach a skill or concept, but don’t know how to get started? Do you want to make an in-person course available online? Are you having trouble keeping your learners engaged or want to widen your reach? Any of these examples would benefit greatly from collaborating with an instructional designer. Our team will ask questions and conduct analyses to determine the needs of your learners, the purpose of your course, and your desired outcomes. With that information, our team designs the optimal learner experience using the principles of design, effective and engaging methods of content delivery, and our knowledge of the most successful approaches to adult learning. Finally, once your course is live, we evaluate how well your course is performing and if necessary, identify a path forward. #InstructionalDesign #CME #continuingmedicaleducation #LifeLongLearning #RevitalizedLearning

Learn How to Create Mobile Responsive Branching Scenarios with Intellum Evolve using Arck Learning's New eLearning Tutorials 🚀 Branching scenarios are interactive, decision-based activities that present learners with different paths or outcomes based on the choices they make. They allow learners to engage with real-life situations and see the consequences of their decisions within a safe learning environment. There is now a four-part series of tutorials on our YouTube channel (link in comments) showing how to create branching scenarios in Evolve and how to navigate all the possible settings. Part 1 is attached to this post, but a higher definition version can be found on the channel along with the other three parts of the series. You can also try out a version of the course yourself using the link in the comments. The video series includes: ✅ Part 1 - Setting up a simple branching scenario ✅ Part 2 - Setting up complex branching scenarios with targeted feedback ✅ Part 3 - Setting up a branching scenario to deliver an assessment score to an LMS ✅ Part 4 - Behaviour and appearance options for branching scenarios in Evolve Let me know if you have any questions or issues following along. I'm happy to help! All images and videos in the course are from Freepik (link in the comments).

An instructional design portfolio is a fantastic tool to showcase your skills and experience as an instructional designer. If you’re serious about breaking into instructional design, you absolutely need an instructional design portfolio. Trust me. This is non-negotiable for instructional design jobs.    Wanna know what to include in your portfolio?

Happy Monday, instructional designers and eLearning devs! Do you want to build your skills with AI and Storyline 360 this week? If so, I'm going live with a BEGINNER'S Storyline workshop on Thursday where we'll dive into the new AI features (as well as basic features like triggers, states, etc). Getting good with this stuff should help you develop faster and serve as a Storyline + AI resource for your team. To kick off the session, you'll vote on the course topic and the interaction that we'll build, and then we'll build a prototype of it step-by-step (leveraging AI the whole time). You'll be able to follow along if you have Storyline, and I'll give you all the assets you need. Finally, we'll compare Storyline's AI functionality to ChatGPT, Claude, and others. This will be a great session for anyone new to Storyline or new to leveraging AI within the tool. We go live on Thursday at 10 AM PT, and you can register with the link in the comments. See you there :) #LinkedInWithDevlin #InstructionalDesign #eLearning #Learning #ArtificialIntelligence

What instructional design principles do you use when you're designing learning? Gagne's 9 events? Practice and feedback? Instructional alignment? Some principles are widely known and others are more niche, but it's really empowering when you can justify your design decisions with theory. That's why I took a look at an instructional design course my team and I are building, and I recorded a video highlighting some of the principles and techniques we're applying. So if you'd like to hang out with me behind-the-scenes and check out the course (while hopefully learning a thing or two that you can take with you to your own projects), then you can view the video with the link in the comments! #LinkedInWithDevlin #InstructionalDesign #Learning #LearningAndDevelopment #eLearning

If you're new to instructional design and you hear the word "storyboard," you might think it’s all about writing a story, designing a narrative, or simply presenting visuals to show a story unfolding. But guess what? It's so much more than that! A storyboard is where we plan out how an entire course will be developed, combining text, visuals, interactions, and assessments to create a complete learning experience. Curious? Here are the key components of a storyboard—take a look! (Remember, these are some basic elements, you can add more as per the need of the course) #instructionaldesign #storyboard

I use Articulate to design elearning courses and presentations for clients. I mainly use Articulate storyline and Articulate Rise and Articulate review. Articulate is a cloud-based platform that enables businesses to create interactive eLearning courses. Content creators save time with prebuilt courses, lessons, and templates. The platform also has an easy-to-use review tool and live, on-demand online training. More on: https://bit.ly/4e9hGU5 #Articulate #Design #Learning Design #AuthoringTool #LearningDevelopment #eLearning 👩‍🏫 👩‍🎓 📚 Do you know any alternatives to Articulate? i am really curious! ❓❓❓

It's no secret that I love teaching Articulate Storyline. Design is subjective, but creating great learning experiences is hard without a solid understanding of the tools. Storyline is a robust and powerful authoring tool, and there are many ways to develop those experiences. I love those little 'ah-ha' moments when that little light bulb goes off in folks' heads, like this diagram. There are four types of matching interactions. Two types are 'out-of-the-box,' meaning they require little effort. The other two types can be done but need additional logic using variables. Understanding these four types, how they behave, how they function, and how to build them will better inform the design phase. Learning Storyline agnostic of content will accelerate skill development. #elearning #articulatestoryline #learninganddevelpment
