𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗨𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 Traditionally, Instructional Designers (IDs) create detailed storyboards that outline the structure and content of eLearning modules. Developers then use authoring tools to transform these storyboards into published files. However, the need for IDs to directly input their content into authoring tools like Articulate is growing. Here’s why this shift is becoming increasingly important. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗜𝗗𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗨𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀? • Efficiency and Speed   • Enhanced Accuracy   • Increased Flexibility   • Better Collaboration   • Skill Development  𝗚𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀 Training: Take advantage of online courses and tutorials on tools like Articulate to build proficiency. Practice: Regularly experiment with different features and functionalities to become comfortable with the tool. Collaboration: Work closely with developers and other stakeholders to integrate feedback and refine your skills. 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 As eLearning continues to evolve, the role of Instructional Designers is expanding beyond traditional storyboard creation. Directly inputting content into authoring tools like Articulate is becoming essential for efficiency, accuracy, and creative flexibility. By embracing this shift, IDs can enhance their contributions to eLearning projects and stay ahead in the competitive landscape of digital learning.

Delayed feedback is a powerful tool for instructional designers. So many #elearning programs utilize immediate feedback AND miss the opportunity to use mistakes as learning tools. Michael Allen of Allen Interactions shares his thoughts on how to use feedback in learning courses.

Almost two weeks to finish the MicroMaster in Instructional Design! This week I am reviewing again and deciding which Learning Theories and ID Models will be a better fit for the course that I am creating. It is fun how we always have ADDIE in our mind as the first roadmap to guide the designing process. Which one is your favorite? #instructionaldesign #learningtheories #instructionaldesigner #learninganddevelopment https://lnkd.in/g_fHX9Ae

The Dick and Carey Model is a widely used instructional design model that provides a systematic approach to designing effective learning experiences. It is a six-step process that outlines the key phases involved in creating and implementing instructional materials. Here's a brief overview of the Dick and Carey Model: ● Identify instructional goals: Clearly define the learning objectives and what learners should be able to do upon completion of the instruction. ● Analyze learner characteristics: Understand the learners' background, knowledge, skills, and motivation to tailor the instruction accordingly. ● Identify instructional content: Determine the specific content and skills that learners need to achieve the instructional goals. ● Develop instructional strategies: Select appropriate instructional methods, activities, and resources to effectively deliver the content. ● Develop instructional materials: Create or adapt instructional materials, such as presentations, handouts, and practice exercises, to support the learning process. ● Design and develop evaluation: Establish assessment strategies to measure learner performance and evaluate the effectiveness of the instruction. The Dick and Carey Model is a valuable tool for instructional designers, educators, and trainers to ensure that their instructional materials are well-structured, engaging, and aligned with the desired learning outcomes. #eLearning #InstructionalDesign

I've been thinking a lot lately on the power of reflection. As an instructional designer, it isn't just crafting learning experiences for others, but also learning from our own experience. This includes reflecting on the learning modules we've created and evaluating how we might go back to improve them and use that information to craft better learning in the future. However, it also includes recognizing transferable skills and relevant information from other, less obvious sources. I think back to my first job at Whataburger back in the day, where I learned a lot about creating a quality customer experience--yes, with the perfect french fry--but also understanding when a customer needed additional information about a seasonal offering or simply patience while looking over the menu before ordering. As you think about your own life experiences, what are some skills or information you've applied to your professional life? #alwayslearning #reflection #professionalgrowth
