Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
What inspired you to pursue a career in instructional design?
I firmly believe that understanding how adults learn is crucial in creating effective eLearning experiences. I apply adult learning theories, such as Andragogy, by acknowledging that adult learners have unique needs and characteristics. I incorporate elements like self-directed learning, relevancy, and practicality into my designs.
Q:
Tell us about a situation where you had to work closely with subject matter experts (SMEs) to meet specific skill enhancement needs.
For a project for a healthcare organization, I collaborated closely with subject matter experts, including medical professionals and trainers, to design a series of training modules. The goal was to enhance the customer service skills of cosmetic surgery staff. This collaboration was essential because the SMEs had the expertise required to create accurate and impactful training.
To achieve our objectives, I initiated regular meetings and established open lines of communication with the SMEs. I encouraged them to share their knowledge and insights, which I translated into interactive eLearning modules. By involving the SMEs in the design process, we ensured the content was accurate and practical. The result was a set of training modules that significantly improved the clinical skills of the staff, leading to better patient care and outcomes.
Q:
How do you apply adult learning theories to your eLearning design?
My inspiration to pursue instructional design stems from a desire to make a meaningful impact through education. During my work in supply chain and logistics, I observed the importance of effective training in improving performance and reducing errors. This realization ignited my passion for helping individuals and organizations reach their full potential.
Q:
Tell us about a situation you've assessed your training programs, and what improvements you made based on feedback and evaluation results?
In a project for a logistics company, I developed an onboarding program for new employees. After the initial rollout, we conducted assessments and collected feedback from the learners. The feedback indicated that while the content was informative, it lacked interactivity, and some segments were lengthy, affecting learner engagement.
To address this, I analyzed the feedback and decided to restructure the training by incorporating more interactive elements, such as simulations and scenario-based learning. We also created 30-60-90 assessments and follow-ups for better retention. These improvements led to a 20% increase in completion rates and a positive shift in learner satisfaction. The feedback and evaluation results served as valuable guides for enhancing the training program and ensuring it aligned more closely with the needs and preferences of the learners.
