Advertisement for paid content

This podcast is essentially an advertisement for the $500 Instructional Design course.

I was excited to use the ID course with Teacher Transition; however, the course did not meet my accessibility needs. When I requested a refund, I was denied. They did begin working towards addressing the accessibility issue; however, by time I was told they were working on the solution, I had asked for a refund four times and nearly two weeks had elapsed. I am stalled out in making forward movement towards my path towards transitioning out of the classroom.
