Instructional Design Uncovered: A Community Conversation with Instructional Designers (September Monthly Event-Virtual)

Instructional Design Uncovered: A Community Conversation with Instructional Designers

What does an instructional designer actually do? How do learning experiences go from an idea to a finished course or training program? And what does a typical day really look like?

Join ATD RTA for a relaxed, interactive conversation with a panel of instructional designers representing a variety of industries and career paths. Whether you're an instructional designer yourself, partner with IDs on projects, work in learning and talent development, or are simply curious about the profession, this session offers a behind-the-scenes look at the people, processes, and realities of the field.

Our panelists will share their experiences and discuss topics such as:

• A day in the life of an instructional designer
• Roles and responsibilities across different organizations
• The instructional design process—from analysis through evaluation
• Common misconceptions about instructional design
• Career transitions into the field and opportunities for growth within it
• Skills, tools, and lessons they've learned along the way

Most importantly, this is a conversation—not just a presentation. You'll have plenty of opportunities to ask your own questions, hear different perspectives, and connect with fellow learning professionals. Whether you're looking to grow your career, collaborate more effectively with instructional designers, or simply satisfy your curiosity, we hope you'll join us for an engaging discussion with our panel.
