I'm very tempted to sign up for one. The course description sounds great. I want to get more theoretical knowledge about ID, but the U.S. courses I've seen are expensive, or not that detailed, or both. For example, ASTD has a certificate, but it's very expensive for a one-day seminar.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14035879103396605159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28999673.post-79578418314051789262010-09-07T06:09:40.386-05:002010-09-07T06:09:40.386-05:00Hi, Cammy,

I'm trying to massage the experience I have into a new job, but I don't know yet whether that's really going to work out. I have extensive (20+) years as a graphic designer, but mostly for print. I have an M.Ed. and public school teaching experience, plus some adult education experience (a couple of part-time gigs lasting a couple of years each). A career counselor told me I shouldn't have to take an entry level job (which is good, because every job I see asks for at least 5 years experience.) I'll report back and let people know how the search is going, in case they are going thru the same process.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14035879103396605159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28999673.post-38910671469060390072010-02-08T12:30:42.968-05:002010-02-08T12:30:42.968-05:00Emine --

I teach online courses and I am really trying to gain more experience in ID so that I can land a job doing ID full time in the future. I am drinking in all the learning and research I can get from people. Thanks so much!!!! (Oh and I saw your post about telling other mom's what you do... hilarious! I feel the same way. Would rather avoid the question most days.)Deanna- yep Dee-nahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16863926521539895666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28999673.post-51694196877514895742009-04-03T10:48:00.000-05:002009-04-03T10:48:00.000-05:00I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you...I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you on your question about Instructional Designers here in the US. "Getting Started in Instructional Design":<BR/><BR/>As with India, I think the US is really all over the map with that. I've been in the field for almost 15 years and I don't have an advanced degree. In fact, a survey on my blog (see the blog sidebar on the right) shows that only about 38% of practicing IDs have advanced degrees in the field.<BR/><BR/>That said, there are plenty of Certificate programs and Masters Degree programs out there, should someone want to go for it.<BR/><BR/>I hope that answers your question! And thanks for asking :)Cammy Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14164253880427035485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28999673.post-53615535408106541832009-03-26T00:23:00.000-05:002009-03-26T00:23:00.000-05:00HI Cammy, I am an Instructional Designer working a...HI Cammy, I am an Instructional Designer working at a reputed firm in CHennai, India. I came to your blog via Linkedin. Here, in India, many people from diverse backgrounds ranging from Arts to Engineering get into Instructional Design. Many of them learn ID only via their hands-on experience. I would like to know whether people in your country undergo any specific courses in order to gain knowledge on ID, if so, what are they? It would be great if you could provide some info on this.Aswin Kinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16741134467278912014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28999673.post-13926374340947304872009-03-16T13:54:00.000-05:002009-03-16T13:54:00.000-05:00Glad to help, Tex.
