Day in the Life of a Corporate Instructional Designer

[@JayBHooks]

This is the best video I've found so far to see what IDs actually do in a given day. Thanks for sharing a sample calendar, scope template, etc. Very insightful and helpful!!

[@yourlearningcareer]

Thanks, Jay! I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@simoneedwards5710]

[@ilsepaba7158]

Very interesting. This is what I also want for me!

[@TWilsonSquared]

Learning so much! Thank you!

[@yourlearningcareer]

Glad to hear that and thanks for watching!

[@leenarodriguez3285]

Very helpful content! I have a question, normally do you send a pre survey to your audience to know which learning method they prefer? Thank you!

[@yourlearningcareer]

It depends on the audience but, yes, there are times I have done this using a survey beforehand. I've also done this as part of an interview with people who are in my learner audience. Most of my projects are for a repeat audience so we already know their preferences and design/develop accordingly.

Thank you. Do you have any advice for someone who is looking to switch careers from a teaching background? And do you have suggestions for how to conduct a thorough SME interview?

[@yourlearningcareer]

Thanks for watching! My general advice for anyone looking to get into ID is in these articles: www.yourlearningcareer.com/how-to-become-an-instructional-designer/ www.yourlearningcareer.com/9-pro-tips-for-how-to-get-experience-in-instructional-design/ For teachers specifically, I like to recommend this LinkedIn group (if you aren't already a member) www.linkedin.com/groups/12490007/ (Teaching: A Path to L&D) Also this one: www.linkedin.com/groups/12244701/ (Teaching to Training) I think a teaching background will have a lot of transferable skills. It will be a lot of learning the lingo and being able to demonstrate your ability to do what you did as a teacher in a different environment.

[@yourlearningcareer]

Just realized I forgot to answer your second question. My suggestion for SME interviews is 1. make sure you get the right SMEs and 2. plan out your questions and send them to the SMEs ahead of time so they have some time to think about their answers.

[@Ms_Nwannunu]

I love this!!! Can you be my mentor????

[@yourlearningcareer]

So glad to hear that! I'm not doing any formal mentoring but, if you go into the description of this video, I share a bunch of other articles and resources that will help. You can also sign up at my website to receive periodic emails from me with tips and info. Best of luck!

[@zoekenny3619]

This was such a comprehensive and calming 'day in the life' video, I really feel like I can do this job after watching this. Thanks!

[@yourlearningcareer]

So glad to hear that - thanks for watching!

[@edgarmhtablet]

Thanks for your video. As a teacher, action mapping sounds like background design to me. I’m looking into starting career as an instructional designer.

[@yourlearningcareer]

That's great! Best of luck!

[@triciacorigliano1284]

I loved this !!! It's helpful to put all of the "pieces" together and see the ID role in action!

[@yourlearningcareer]

Thanks, Tricia! Glad it was helpful!

I need to know what competencies and skills of instructional design we have to follow as teachers. Two things skills and competencies I would emphasize if I would apply instructional design with my content I teach. so which direction Can I use ? the first one , a international standards as following (IBSTPI -ACET ATD) that show the skills and comptenses . Second , there are some researchers tend to get the skills from ADDLE Model , and the competences from their experiences . So my question is which direction I have to use ?.

[@swboxing]

Brilliant as always Jeff. I'm just about to start my first job in L&D and your videos have been a great help.

[@yourlearningcareer]

@SW Boxing that is awesome! What will you be doing?

[@swboxing]

@@yourlearningcareer - on-site learning and development trainer in the health industry. Compliance, course refreshers etc. Hoping to get into eLearning course development long term but this is a good starting place!

[@yourlearningcareer]

Excellent! Yes, that should be a great opportunity! Compliance is how I got going in e-learning. I was responsible for creating some of the mandatory safety classes for the hospital system I worked for. Not always the most fun topics to work with but I learned a lot.

[@swboxing]

@@yourlearningcareer - great encouragement. Cheers Jeff!
