Do you want to know how to overcome your most common problems as an instructional designer?

In this episode Kim and Hannah share their thoughts and insights on the top instructional design challenges and how they would solve them. 

The challenges are:

- You’ve been told to storyboard a compliance course. How do you start?

- What do you do if a stakeholder wants to keep adding content?

- People use the language, “I’m an aspiring instructional designer”. What’s your mindset tip for them?

- There are so many ways to apply instructional design methods, activities and processes. For someone who’s feeling overwhelmed with this, what’s an action they can take to become unstuck?

- What should someone do when they are trying their best and it doesn’t go to plan?

- Your learners are disengaged with the learning solution you have created.

- You are overwhelmed with a stack of information for a course. 

- Your stakeholders have different opinions on what the project should achieve.

- You do not have a strong enough understanding of what you are training as the instructional designer. 

- You have a small budget and minimal resources.
