This Gal’s Instructional Design Philosophy

A strong instructional designer is a strong listener. Adapting to your learners needs is imperative in an ecosystem where we are constantly bombarded with a surplus of information and a deficit of time to sift through the noise.

Therefore it is the ID’s job to pinpoint the necessary information, identify the proper training medium, and of course execute and deliver in a creative and engaging way. For adult learners, this almost always entails multiple forms of active engagement. 

This is what thrills me about ID in the tech age; I love experimenting with mixing different channels and methodologies. As a perpetually curious soul, my other favorite thing about ID is getting to interact with Subject Matter Experts of varying backgrounds. It’s a privilege to experience life through hundreds of different highly polished and uniquely shaped keyholes.  

Im hired by companies, but I work for the learners.
