Released two courses today that I’ve been working on since June.

They were originally one course that ended up needing to be split into two, which delayed progress, and then everything had to be done twice.

So glad to close that out before the holidays!

We’re hiring!

It will start out as a temp, 25-40 hour role.

BUT this is how I started my current position.

Open to grad students in Instructional Design as well.

I'm not sure if there's a catchier title for a presentation than "The Four Horseman of the Learning Apocalypse"

Great session with Lauren Hodges.

I would love presentations to disclose breakout rooms in the description so I can make a more informed decision. I hate getting into a presentation I'm enjoying and freezing up as soon as a breakout room comes up. If I'm prepared for it going in, it's okay. I don't like surprise forced interaction.

Really enjoyed Michelle Lentz's session on The Future-Ready Instructional Designer! Michelle is a fantastic, engaging presenter and discussed some thought-provoking ideas on how AI is going to shape the landscape of ID.

I had a hard time deciding what to attend next but landed on Using AI to Facilitate Effective Learning Measurement with Jeffrey Berk.

This was so insightful.

I'm familiar with Elevator Pitches as an author, but I've never considered having an elevator pitch FOR MYSELF.

Will definitely be working on that ASAP.

This “never switch colors” pre-measured yarn is a pain to figure out.

A lot of trial and error.

But we got there.

The project that I feel like I’ve been building all year is back from the final review & only needs minor tweaks.

It’s one that got split into two courses after initial review, which made me redo a lot of work and build a second course.

Fingers crossed it’s out the door before the end of year.

Some days I have a really hard time poking my brain to want to focus on my project when the material is as dry as it is.

2.5 years into this job and I need some new tricks to get my brain motivated.

I will christen my ID profile with a pun, since that is on brand.
