Secret Society of the Instructional Designer SSOITD

Your favorite instructional design podcast hosts are finally back! Listen in as Clea, Rachel, and Steve talk about the things in instructional design they wish people were "fooling" about...but which are often far too real. (The co-hosts all have day jobs, so forgive them for being a month too late for an "April Fools"-themed episode).

Hello Everyone!
In keeping with February's general vibe, we are talking about what made us fall in love with Instructional Design (Though some of us may have changed our status to "It's Complicated). We also interview Dr. Katrina Wehr about her experience in the field, how she thinks it should change and what she would still like to do in her career. Thanks for checking us out, and let us know if you only like, or if you like like, the episode!

Today we're talking about the weird way Instructional Design (and may all jobs) wraps your brain and makes you see every interaction as an opportunity for learning. From Spider-Man to Starbucks, everything is a learning experience.
