AMC Evaluation Training Course
AMC Evaluation Training Course
After a recent reorganization at AMC, the education and LCNS departments noticed a decrease in nurses completing learning evaluations after training. This change is significant because learning evaluations help to collect data-based feedback about the efficacy of training and can highlight areas for improvement at AMC that could impact the quality of care for patients and the success of the organization...

ID asset #1: "You're an Instructional Designer?"
ID asset #1: "You're an Instructional Designer?"
In his 20 minute video “What I wish I knew before becoming an instructional designer” Dr. Luke Hobson proclaims that his video is the nerdiest thing I will watch for the day. To an extent, he is right. His breakdown of how the role of instructional designer and project manager are one in the same and his insistence that instructional designers learn to code (just a little) are certainly nerdy things. But, he doesn’t know about the several hours of Critical Role I’ve watched or my current plans with my DM/ bestfriend to create a villainous character for our next DND campaign. Now, that’s really nerdy if I do say so.
Hobson’s definition of an instructional designer is a passionate speech that rivals some of the most recent graduation keynote speeches I’ve heard in the last 5 years. I especially like that he highlights my favorite superpower of instructional designers, the ability to take what is in the minds of an SME, stakeholder, or instructors and turn those ideas into a meaningful learning experience.
I appreciate that Dr. Luke Hobson discusses the difficulty of working with SMEs and faculty that you might face as an instructional designer and the focus on collaboration to help build those relationships. I especially like that he emphasizes that IDs should ensure that everyone, SMEs, stakeholders, instructors, faculty members, etc. has an equal voice when working on instructional design projects. What makes instructional design brilliant and impactful (in my opinion) is its robustness and that cannot be achieved without input from an array of sources with differing expertise levels and backgrounds.
Regarding instructional design networking, I follow Educause on LinkedIn because they tend to have interesting webinars, panels, and workshops that overlap with some of the interests of instructional designers such as the relationship between tech and education, diversity in tech fields, and so on.
As Dr. Luke Hobson noted, instructional design is a field you can make a career out of and that could pay you well for your efforts. For example, IDs at Trimble can make up to 100K/year according to Glassdoor.
