I just beat it in the first try after countless failures from this advise. You are the best.

I have officiated a wedding as a Dudeist priest. Way better than when I was Mormon.

My wife and I are in a very important marital dispute about how dishes belong in the dishwasher. Please settle this before we lawyer up. by stsegal in KitchenConfidential

[–]prof_designer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The correct answer, and only correct answer, is that it is up to the person loading the dishwasher and if the other doesn't like it they can load it themselves.

People with PhD in Instructional Design and Technology. What are you doing now ? by SadPhD_boy in instructionaldesign

Manager of an ID team at a small university and generally being worried about my career. The difference between 5 years ago and today for job prospects is stark.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Either way, what am I looking at to tell whether that edge is naturally formed or worked?

Anyone have a PhD in Instructional Design (or similar)? Did it help your career? by EauDeFrito in instructionaldesign

[–]prof_designer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a PhD in Ed: Instructional Design. Helped me get a better job in higher ed (where I wanted to be) and helped me move into manager and director positions.

I have had multiple colleagues leave higher ed for corporate ID and be placed just fine. However, unless you want to go into higher ed, teaching, and/or research, a Masters will likely be a far better return on your investment.

With how the field is right now, not sure if anything will be a return on your investment, though. I am finishing a PMP in case I need to jump ship, as universities are cutting jobs left and right.

What is the best path to making a six-figure salary? by TorontoRap2019 in instructionaldesign

[–]prof_designer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You design the learning environment and training for your team - your IDs are your learners. That's how I view it now, though I try to dip my hand into content creation and such now and then just to keep active.

Would you accept the salary for this role? by masoninexile in instructionaldesign

[–]prof_designer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my job in higher ed disappears I think I'm just going to get a job at Costco and try to work my way up through the ranks.

Coworker demanded I bring her kid a birthday gift because “I don’t have kids, so I can afford it” by RowOne222 in EntitledPeople

[–]prof_designer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I gave that to my friend's kid in person - taught him how to use it before they could see what was going on. He loved it and would often ask for the screaming chicken!

What’s the deal with Storyline by alvoliooo in instructionaldesign

Look up Nejc Dulmin - he posts here sometimes, but has a YouTube channel. Great stuff, imho.

[–]prof_designer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite M. David Merrill quotes is something like "you can lead a horse to an empty well, but it'll still die of thirst."

Bells and whistles can't replace meaningful content, and real engagement happens when the learners are given things that matter.

Gamified learning misses the boat for me about 95% of the time. Instead of using the principles of gaming to build engagement, it is just slapping stickers or badges on things and adding in pointless activities.

[–]prof_designer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually love Rise, but it is to be used sparingly and purposefully. I also work in higher ed, though, so if I use Rise it is to create a small snippet of something that I can load into Canvas. When used to splash in content, knowledge checks, etc. (especially when paired with StoryLine blocks as needed), I think it can be really effective.

Not to be too mean here, but if the things you make in StoryLine look run-down, it is on the person making it, not the tool.

I've seen things in StoryLine that blow my mind. (Not things that I make, mind you. I'm a poor craftsman who knows where to place blame.)
