Summary

Are you thinking about becoming an instructional designer? You’re not alone! Instructional design is one of the fastest growing fields, but it’s also a bit confusing. Many of the best instructional designers you know of fell into the role by accident and didn’t have dreams or ambitions of designing learning experiences for a living. Other instructional designers pursued years of education to make this job a reality. The differences in how to become an instructional designer have created a need for an instructional design guide to help you with your career.

  • How do I build a portfolio?

  • What kind of instructional designer do I want to be when I grow up?
  • How do I make connections in the field?
  • How do I teach myself a new skill?
  • How do I work with SMEs?
  • Is an instructional design degree right for me?
  • What do students actually do in a course?.
  • How do I know if my courses are designed well?

Hugely informative, extremely enlightening and probably the most engaging listen I have ever experienced on Audible.

Thank you Luke, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I'm so pleased you wrote and also narrated it. In actual fact, I ended up listening to the entire book in a single sitting! I was simply engrossed. I cannot believe I am your first reviewer... but certainly thrilled to provide it. I truly mean it when I say, that this was a "hugely informative, extremely enlightening and probably the most engaging listen I have ever experienced on Audible." I wanted to understand more about Instructional Design as a career, and by the end of this book I was so energised by your journey with ID that I immediately researched potential courses and have enrolled on a Professional Diploma in Digital Learning Design!! I cannot wait!! Your chapter about networking and LinkedIn really resonated with me... so like you, I have finally created one and will be rapidly building it in order to grow my contacts and learn more. So please do not be surprised if I request a 'follow'. and add you to my feed. Lol. Thank you again for a wonderful listen/read. Much appreciated, Iain
