Meet Devlin Peck of Peck Consulting. Devlin joined us to discuss an article he wrote exactly about that: How to Become An Instructional Designer in 2020. As you might expect, there was a lot to go over, and we moved through the conversation at a quick pace. In fact, I can safely say this episode may have had more Q&A than any previous TLDCast we've done. We had over 200 people registered for this one, so the audience chat was a constant stream. Give this episode a listen, it's full of helpful information and you may want to go the original recording for more detail. The chat transcript is also located in our Slack group at www.TLDChat.us. Enjoy. https://www.devlinpeck.com/posts/how-to-become-instructional-designer https://www.crowdcast.io/e/devlin-peck-how-to-id https://www.reddit.com/r/instructionaldesign/ https://webflow.com/ https://discord.gg/7crPR5C https://www.amazon.com/Non-Designers-Design-Book-4th/dp/0133966151 https://www.edx.org/micromasters/usmx-umgc-instructional-design-technology https://www.cathellis.com/ https://www.devlinpeck.com/portfolio https://www.glideapps.com/ https://thefutur.com/team/chris-do https://www.youtube.com/user/TheSkoolRocks http://www.ransegall.com/ https://www.whyscience.com/online-professional-development/
