Debate rages in the e-Learning community as to who should be called an instructional designer (ID), what an ID should be able to do, and where and how they should do it. Furthermore, technology continues to shift expectations of skills and competencies – both for ID as a practice and ID as a profession. The pervasive adoption of computing, communication, and collaborative platforms and tools have made material changes to creating and maintaining learning solutions with online learning and “anytime, anywhere, just-in-time” performance support resources. Clearly, expectations by and for the professionals engaged in the design and development of learning, training, and performance support resources need to align.
Participants in this session will explore emerging dimensions of ID competence and get frameworks for developing essential skills needed to succeed in a variety of emerging settings. Learning technology professionals (LT) fill a unique strategic role in their organizations, as long as they understand how to create solutions that improve individual knowledge and skills, enable engagement, and improve overall experience.
In this session, you will learn: - Metrics that define current expectations of today’s ID/LT, including job descriptions and academic degree and certification programs
- The results of a review covering essential LT/ID Skills reported by LT Professionals; a review covering essential LT/ID Skills as described by industry research, and qualitative reflections regarding ID/LT competencies and practice
- The proposed/draft LT professional development roadmaps based on competencies extracted from job descriptions and academic degree and certification programs
Audience:
Intermediate designers and managers.
