In the last decade, instructional designers in higher education have come to the forefront of the digital teaching and learning landscape. The unprecedented growth of online and blended learning has catapulted the ID profession into the spotlight and we now play a critical role in the design, development, and assessment of quality online and digital learning experiences. But where is our profession headed? What skills will someone in our role need 10 years from now? What is the difference – if any – between an instructional designer, a learning designer, a learning experience designer and a learning engineer? Join us in this half-day event where we will discuss these questions and engage in multiple dialogues around the evolving role of the instructional designer, the direction the profession is headed, and the key trends that impact the work that we do. Take part in topical group discussions with fellow participants, learn from expert panelists about their professional journey into the instructional design field, and network with other participants who share the passion for the work we do. We hope you can join us!
The ID Summit Planning Committee has curated a list of pre-readings that you are encouraged to review before the event takes place.
We will open the Instructional Design Summit with a panel of emerging leaders in the field of instructional design. Following the panel discussion, participants will have the opportunity to participate in small group discussions on trending topics that impact the work we do.
