See on Scoop.it – M-learning, E-Learning, and Technical Communications

Getting into instructional design is a very desirable career choice at present, and so many people want to get into it but are often not sure where to start. What qualifications do they need?

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

Another great article by Christopher Pappas (@cpappas). Where was this article a year ago when I needed it? There are some great tips in here, which I will need to follow-up on myself if I ever want to make the jump to instructional design as I’d like. And while I do have my MS in Professional and Technical Communications, I do still think about getting some sort of credential in instructional design at some point.

In the meantime, follow these tips! They are sound ones!
