Help Us Choose Future Group Topics!

I'm exploring the idea of offering short-term, topic-focused groups in the community. These groups would run for a few weeks and focus on connecting with peers, learning together, and supporting each other as you grow in your skills and career. 

I'd love your input!

👉🏼 What topics would you want to explore with a group?

Here are a few examples to spark ideas:

  • Working with SMEs
  • Building an e-learning portfolio
  • Freelancing/consulting
  • Being the only instructional designer on your team
  • Working in your first instructional design role

Comment below with any topics you'd be excited to explore alongside others! ✨

      Nice idea, and in particular as Instructional Designers are expected to also be Graphic Designers as part of the role.
