I've been asked a lot which part of ADDIE is my favourite. I think the interviewers are OK with ADDIE, all in all, it's the most used model in instructional design. Instead of simply explaining the process, I feel they do like to see if you have any focus during the ADDIE process, especially for big companies. Sometimes they just hire an e-learning development company to do the development part, and as an ID, you are more responsible for A and the first D. My suggestion is to read the job description carefully and identify what kind of person they're looking for this specific position.

Good suggestion! Thanks Ariel 😃

Hai Can you share your sample work for my learning

@InsubordinationFreak 2 года назад

Devlin, just want to thank you on your multitude of videos: action mapping, portfolios, models, SMES, articulate. I learnt more from you than from my Learning Design course. I have just scored a job after building skills for 4 months and your generous sharing of your knowledge and clear explanations are a significant contributor to this. I even watched this mock interview the afternoon before and it helped me with my scenario presentation. Thanks to all three of you.

@DevlinPeckYT 2 года назад

Amazing work!!! Congrats on landing the job 😃. So glad that we were able to help.

@wennifer1970 Год назад

I would also add a SMEs role is often secondary to their primary job responsibility. And this may lead to them ghosting you because they don't see the bigger picture. Very rarely will you find an SME whose only job is being an SME. To avoid this pitfall, I'd recommend speaking with their manager so they can then communicate to the SME the important role they will play in your project. Perhaps even set up a meeting between all three of you to establish some ground rules and expectations.

@DevlinPeckYT Год назад

Great point, Wendy! Thanks for drawing attention to that and sharing this suggestion 😃

@brittniyoung7893 3 года назад

Questions I was often asked by interviewers were focused on project management, workload and how I would address situations where a project has been scrapped or put on hold. Thanks for sharing these interview tips.

@JessieCarty 2 года назад

More great content! I have had two interviews so far but both were with an HR person. I haven't made it to the department level yet (although one interview was just yesterday!). The first I didn't even realize I was interviewing for a course designer position, I had applied for a different job that was filled so that didn't really go too well. The other asked basically these: what do I bring to the job, what is my best skill for ID, how do I do with teamwork, how do I do in a fast-paced work environment. Hope that can help some others! I think my next step is to get into that Storyline course so I'll have more industry tech to share instead of explaining how my existing experience can translate ;)

@DevlinPeckYT 2 года назад

Thanks Jessie! I will put together a resource with common interview questions eventually and this will definitely help 😃. And we look forward to seeing you in the project lab!

@DevlinPeckYT 3 года назад

Thanks Shira! And I may have to watch the video back, but you're referring to design and deveopment processes? Like action map, storyboard, prototype, final product?

@Laura_Parenti Год назад

@@DevlinPeckYT I know the OP didn't respond, but I think she was asking about the typical design process (question: What is your ID process?) if you don't have actual ID experience. I like your video on designing effective/engaging learning solutions with story-based learning scenarios and I think you did a great job highlighting your process with the design document, action map, text-based storyboard, prototype, etc. I have a second interview for a corporate ID job this Tuesday, so thank you for all of your videos and for so freely sharing your knowledge & experience!

@kristinseemuthwhaley5720 Год назад

Hi Devlin, thanks for this video! Do you have (or do you know of anyone who has) a list of questions that get asked in instruction design interviews? I'm coming from higher education and we had several such lists circulating for academic interviews, but this new sector is very different for me. I've seen some in the comment here and would love to see more.

@NDemanuele1 Год назад

This was helpful! I have an interview tomorrow. This opportunity is essentially with a school. From the job description there is a very long list of responsibilities where it seems the ID associate will be wearing many hats which is not a problem. I have a lot of experience working in this environment. However, a question comes to mind: How will my time be distributed? What would be the ratio between ID tasks and the other tasks? I'm assuming this would be a valid question to ask? Also, since this is a school, I'm not expecting them to have an Articulate subscription. Is it really a big deciding factor which LMS or tools an employer uses? If hired, this would be my first ID job. Thanks

@stephzacharias Год назад

I graduated from an Instructional System's Master's Program in December. Currently, I am a Special Education teacher but I have secured my first Instructional Design interview. I am a little nervous because my only ID internship during graduate school was with an education company to help design trainings. The position that I am interviewing for is located at a state college. Any tips for this interview? As part of the job description, they mention a Quality Standard Rubric, any idea what this means? Thank you!

@ooshiikurai Год назад

I was asked “how do you compensate for different learning styles in your design?”

@DevlinPeckYT Год назад

Oh no! Learning styles have been debunked, so that generally isn't a great approach. You could discuss ways that you introduce variability into your learning experiences to keep things unexpected / fresh (can help with engagement)

@kandimallareddy9118 3 года назад

Hi Devlin. In my interview they were asked me where u can apply Bloom's toxanomy, what are the gap analysis, storytelling and storyboarding and explain a rela time project. So, how could I get answers for these all. Is there a way in your sources? Please let me know. That would be more helpful

@DevlinPeckYT 3 года назад

Good question, Kandimalla! Here's a video about Bloom's taxonomy / learning objectives that should help: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QXGOjzcQdhQ.html

@dlstringer 2 года назад

How do you get experience with the tech tools when you are a traditional teacher? I'm self taught when it comes to Photoshop, Illustrator, and ID. I don't have experience with the others.

@DevlinPeckYT 2 года назад

Storyline will be a good one to learn! I'd suggest downloading a free trial and trying to build some projects :D. There's content on this channel to help (the "Getting Started with Articulate Storyline 360" workshop is a good one).

@Laura_Parenti Год назад

Free trials are the way to go! I like LinkedIn Learning and basically finding any course that isn't just a passive experience but also has me using the technology so that I learn it better. I am also coming from teaching and self-taught in many of the techs I used in the classroom. I realize your comment was 5 months ago, but if you haven't yet found the LinkedIn Group Teaching: A Path to L&D and their website with completely free resources, i highly recommend it! Devlin's video with the founder, Sara Stevick is what introduced me to the group.

@lydiachong6157 3 года назад
