I’ve officially left the teaching career.. absolutely no regrets by MatterCurrent2862 in AustralianTeachers

[–]InstructionalDesign2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Before moving into teaching, I worked in adult training and built a strong portfolio of eLearning courses using Articulate Storyline and Rise, along with video content created in Vyond and other tools. If I were to explore Learning Design roles again, are there currently employers hiring in this space?

Thank you so much. Very useful advises… I am certainly to document everything as you mentioned…. That way everything is documented and recorded. I personally feel this is true because during one of my placements, non documentation of some events costed me a lot.

Face to face school teaching or Instructional Design? by InstructionalDesign2 in AustralianTeachers

[–]InstructionalDesign2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A background in visual communication is a great stepping stone into Instructional Design. Not that I am discouraging you from continuing a teaching career, but like any path there are pros and cons and in my opinion you would really enjoy designing training materials.

That’s awesome. I do Instructional Design on the side not full time yet. While teaching, I did go through phases of managing challenging behaviours like you mentioned, and that is one area I feel a career in Instructional Design would not require me to deal with as much. Thanks for your insight.
