outcomes. What I want to work on during this
course:

I believe that social contact is very important in learning.
This course will help me learn more about developments in
social media, which helps me make optimal use of them in
instructional design. What I’d like to learn during this
course:

institution in the coming years.

7. Corporate Training and
Motivational Development
Learning in a corporate setting is very different from
school learning, like in my institution. I can use this
course to better learn how to design for professional

New York: Delmar Cengage Learning.

Instructional Design
Audio is one of my weaker skills, yet very important
for good instructional design. This course will help me
make better use of the medium in instruction by:

management and how systems can aid in that. This

16. Finding feedback
In search of an IDT mentor

17. Profile of a mentor
Finding someone to learn from, a professional mentor,
is a very delicate process. There has to be a personal connection
and a mentor has to have the advantage of experience.
For me, a mentor:
• Is an instructional designer
• He or she has more experience than me in instructional design
• But is not too old.
• Has a very good of current technological possibilities
• Has a similar vision on learning (social constructivist).

18. Get connected

organizations
