| 4/4/25 |  Why We Don't Talk About the Psychomotor Domain | An off-chance conversation sent me down the rabbit hole of the psychomotor domain. Why is it that this domain doesn't get as much attention as the cognitive domain? So, I did some research and sifted through the origins of this domain. How did we get here? Who created it? Were there any signs that this domain was going to be looked down upon from the start? Well... I discovered some interesting takeaways that led to a few theories. This is the story of the psychomotor domain and why we don't talk about it. 👉 Mentioned Links: 2025 Instructional Design Podcast Award by Feedspot Confessions of a Learning Nerd Newsletter 👉 Recommendations: 🎓Take your instructional design skills to the next level 🙌Collaborating and Building Relationships with SMEs course 📚So, you want to become an instructional designer? 📙 My Book 👉 Connect with me: LinkedIn YouTube 👉 Support the Channel!

| 3/21/25 |  The Future of Instructional Design and Job Titles | What will Instructional Designers be called in the future? In this episode, I revisit a fun question from a recent webinar that got me thinking. Our field has gone by many names over the years, from training specialists and curriculum developers to multimedia designers and learning engineers. These shifts often reflect the trends, tools, and technologies of the time, from Gagné's Nine Events to the rise of LMSs and now AI. So, what's next? While job titles may continue to evolve, our core competencies remain steady. Join me for a lighthearted and slightly speculative look at the future of instructional design job titles. It's Friday, so grab your crystal ball and let's have some fun with this episode! 👉 Mentioned Links: Transcript and Blog 👉 Recommendations: 🎓Take your instructional design skills to the next level 🙌Collaborating and Building Relationships with SMEs course 📚So, you want to become an instructional designer? 📙 My Book 👉 Connect with me: LinkedIn YouTube 👉 Support the Channel!
