Getting things in order
An instructional designer works with many things. With technology advancing like never before and the pandemic squashing 10 years of cultural shift regarding remote solutions into 2 years, traditional classroom or in-person training is making way for e-learning.
For many organisations, e-learning is seen as flexible and cost-effective; it breaks down the barriers of time and location; and can be customised or repeated easily.
There are many different project management systems designed to manage things. When you factor in the different outcomes, KPIs, and production methods of different businesses, it kind of makes sense that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to managing a project. However, most instructional designers, and other learning and development professionals, adopt the ADDIE approach. Analyse, design, develop, implement, evaluate.
