An Instructional Design Blog
Welcome to Headway!
Welcome to my blog. My goal is to share my thoughts on performance and instructional design.
On Competencies and Mediocrity
Thoughts on competency models, participation trophies, and success.
ID Competencies
A colleague recently passed along a great piece on the competencies of a successful instructional designer (Malamed, 2009). As an instructional designer who has built two custom, competency models for clients in vastly different industries (an insurance company and a natural gas company), I have a strong interest in identifying competencies and using them to identify potential learning gaps.
Making Things Happen
I was pondering an experience I had this week, when I read a really relevant article on asset-based thinking.
Cognitive Load in Practice
My own experience with cognitive overload and how instructional designers can overcome it.
Making Learning Accessible
Thoughts on mobility in learning.
A Bizarre Series of Events
In what can only be described as a bizarre series of events, I find myself without employment.
Opportunities
My new job & opportunities.
Learning from Mistakes
I attended a presentation this week on learning from mistakes.
Toastmasters
I gave my first speech at Toastmasters last night.
