Apps for Instructional Designers in Higher Ed

By

 As an Instructional Designer in Higher Education your tasks will range along the ADDIE model:

A peer in my graduate ISLT program also works for the University. Her tasks in instructional design are determined by the department she works for. This is her second assignment as an instructional design assistant. Some of her tasks include testing links to multimedia content, checking library references, and proofreading and editing content.

She graduated from the program recently and was promoted to Instructional Designer 2. In this role she uses apps like PowerPoint to create the videos and recordings that accompany these. She also uses Camtasia by Tech Smith to make similar content. However, this tool takes some skill to use, which impacts the Design and Development stages.

Are you working in Higher Education or planning to as an Instructional Designer? Which apps are you currently using and which ones do you anticipate needing to learn?

    Unfortunately (or fortunately for me), at the university where I work, the IDs do not design content for our courses. As such, I had to learn to use Camtasia. I think this is an amazing tool to learn as it offers so much. It is time-consuming and requires some patience. Another tool I have learned a little about is Articulate Rise 360. I am not a fan of any of the Articulate products.

Do you have similar stories to share?

Social Media use worldwide

By
  This week my graduate school instructor invited us in the Discussion Board to research and post findings about social media use worldwide. We're fortunate as an online program to have classmates from around the world with the majority of our international students residing in Asia. We have students from Europe, and military members stationed worldwide, as well. I love this about our program and it speaks to its reputation. The more I write this blog and will continue to grow it by linking it to my LinkedIn account, the more I will stay connected to my classmates in this program. I think there's a benefit of having these alumni relationships in addition to sharing our career development. Even though I only used LinkedIn as my sole social media account prior to this summer's graduate class in Web 2.0 learning, I'm already planning on being an active LinkedIn user and will share content and articles. I'm otherwise private about sharing on social media.  I visited Bei...
