Crowdsourcing: Transforming Instructional Design Challenges into Opportunities
As instructional designers and trainers, our job is not always easy. Sometimes we lack resources, other times we may struggle to gain buy-in or support, while in other instances, we need to work with difficult SMEs. Join us at the August 30th ID COP meeting as we work together with our peers to identify the causes of some of our most common ID challenges we face every day and brainstorm strategies to overcome them. This session will focus on tapping the collective power of our peers to transform our ID challenges into opportunities within our own organizations.
This session will be facilitated by the co-directors of the COP.
Light refreshments will be provided. Attendees are also welcome to bring light meals with them, such as sandwiches or salads. There are several establishments within a few blocks of the venue that offer such fare.
