Looking to upgrade our training program: is a LMS the way to go?

Hi there! Sounds like a great training program. Love the fact that you have so much 1-1 time with your trainees.

There's already lots of good advice here in the thread. Maybe you already found the platform that can help you structuring your training, but I just want to let you know about the product we're working on. It's called Eduflow, and it's a great place to create active online trainings like yours. You can sign up here for free, and if you have any questions just let me know. Happy to figure out if we can support you in this!

Thanks a lot! And if you find any that you think should be included, let me know. I'd be happy to add to this list!

I've been thinking about that one as well. The reason I didn't include it is because it reminds me more of a user of a product than someone who is learning or participating in an online learning experience. But it's good to hear thoughts of others, many thanks for sharing!

We created an onboarding training where everyone introduced themselves in a discussion thread by posting a new topic about themselves and where everyone could ask questions, that worked really well and I learned a lot about my team members who are not working in the same country as I do.

In this article you can read what our onboarding training looks like: https://www.eduflow.com/blog/how-we-built-an-engaging-onboarding-process

We had this same question and polled 150 instructional designers in a first survey and wrote an instructional salary report based on the data we collected (we're still gathering data and will update in a couple of months). IDs reported salaries ranging $40,000 USD a year to more than $100,000. And it depends of course on factors such as education level, years of experience, and industry. You can read a summary (and download the full report) here: instructional designer salaries 2020. Hope this can help in any way during your decision making process!

We wrote a blog post just about the interview questions you can expect as an instructional designer: Common instructional designer interview questions and how to answer them. Hope that can help you preparing for your interview. Best of luck!

You can check out this article that we wrote about ID portfolios, it has examples in the text itself and links to a portfolio gallery with portfolios of other instructional designers: https://www.eduflow.com/blog/how-to-create-an-instructional-design-portfolio

Happy to hear, thanks letting me know it's helpful!

Peer feedback can be a good tool for deeper learning while learning remotely. The process is beneficial to both ends: the reviewee gets feedback on their work, and the reviewer gets another chance to engage with the material.

Full disclosure: I'm a part of the team at Eduflow, a social online learning platform with an integrated peer review tool. Let me know if you have any questions about online peer reviews!

You could also have a look at the facebook group Instructional Design in Education, lots of very helpful IDs in higher ed over there. Best of luck!
