The purpose of Instructional Design Institute is simple: to help you create meaningful learning experiences. This is a 7 week-long instructional design bootcamp for learning nerds to provide you with what you need to know in the real-world.

What makes IDI different from other forms of professional development for instructional designers? It all comes down to the learning experience.

IDI was created for a hands-on experience with learning a new topic each week and then immediately applying this knowledge into designing your own course. You’ll also be given full autonomy and flexibility with how you choose to design your own experience. In a meta fashion, you’ll also experience how IDI was developed with exploring readings, videos, discussions, practice questions, journal entries, case studies, scenario-based assignments, peer-review based assessments, reflections, research, projects, and more.

You’ll receive coaching and feedback along the way with each important submission to know you are on track. Each week, there will be a live workshop to build off of the learning material and of course, these will be recorded if you can’t attend live. IDI is also a cohort based program with strongly emphasizing the significance of a community and peer-feedback. Giving and receiving constructive feedback is an important part of an instructional designer’s world and this was included intentionally to help you on your instructional design journey.
