Using Instructional Design Theory to Get a Job

Years ago I ran an online learning group at IBM. It was called the Knowledge Factory and it was a great place to learn about how to get your message across to others using “multimedia” (as we called it back then). And while the technology was interesting, the more important aspect was the use of instructional design theory. Basically, instructional design ensures that people who interact with your materials online engage, learn and retain what you share with them.

Now, when it comes to job hunting, there is much you can learn from instructional design. And in this neat, 15 minute presentation from Michaels and Associates, you can see how just one of the standard instructional design models (ADDIE) can be applied to your job search.

Best of luck!
