Listen Later

In this episode, Amy Petricek shares her insights about what's big in the instructional design world, the role of engagement in instructional design, and how to think about learning in the flow of work.


Amy is a Learning Design Manager, Career Strategist, and host of the podcast Share Watcha Learned podcast.


Key Takeaways:

  • Instructional Design looks very different from company to company. It's important to connect with people to understand what that role is beyond what's only in the job description.


    • Asynchronous learning requires us to be more intentional about our learning design. It's important not only to think about how the information is displayed in eLearning, but also how it's delivered.


      • Training has an opportunity to move outside the LMS. However, it also requires extra thinking through the click pathway of the learner.
