Here’s what to expect from this episode:
Ed Tech, Higher Ed, and Corporate IDs – What type of instructional design should you pursue? If you’re unsure what options there are, this episode is for you! While this podcast specifically focuses on corporate, it’s important to understand all three avenues of instructional design so you can decide which path is best for you, and tailor your portfolio, resume, and interviewing skills to match.
This episode explores the differences between ed tech, higher ed, and corporate IDs. This episode will help you to understand the tasks and responsibilities associated with each type of instructional design and the varying employment factors such as salary, work-life balance, and job security.
Topics Covered:
- Ed-tech for the classroom and why I consider this route “ID adjacent”
- Higher ed and why IDs are sometimes called instructional technologists
- Corporate instructional design and e-learning
- Work-life balance in ed tech, higher ed, and corporate ID
- Salaries, job security, and remote work opportunities
- Deciding which path is right for you
