Job descriptions in ID (or, ISD) these days are all over the map, with very little consistency. So don't get offended, but please do share your suggestions and feedback! Instructional Designer Capable of performing or at least managing entire ADDIE process. Primarily responsible for translating raw content into instructional content. It doesn't help that few HR and Recruiters have any knowledge of, or experience with, the field. So I'm going to propose some roles as I understand them, in the hopes that some day hiring managers will be able to articulate

I’m at risk of flogging a very dead horse here, but some recent posts from Ellen Wagner (What is it about ADDIE that makes people so cranky?) and Donald Clark ( The evolving dynamics of ISD and Extending ISD through Plug and Play ) got me thinking about instructional design process and ADDIE in particular (please don’t run away!).
Ellen’s post focused on how new Learning Designers get “cranky” It was in response to a #Lrnchat session on Twitter where most participants had a gag response to the to the mere mention of ADDIE (sound familiar?).

My article Death of the Instructional Designer sparked off some interesting debate and provided some good points. The poll also showed that most readers believe that instructional designers do add value to content development projects. Tom Crawford makes some interesting points in Is Instructional Design Dead . He also lists some competencies he believes an instructional designer should have. In case you missed it, do view the comments posted for the article.

Although she's currently beta testing a new online tool that she has developed for designers called eLearning Blueprints and talks more sense on the subject of instructional design than most people I know, Cathy confessed that she is sometimes denied some work opportunities because she does not have a degree in instructional design. Over here practically no-one has a degree in instructional design - in fact I don't know where you'd go to get one. I was lucky enough when in Indianapolis recently to have dinner with Cathy Moore , one of my favourite bloggers and a specialist in the art of writing for e-learning.

Image from Kathy Sierra's old "creating passionate users" blog via Jane Bozarth Lately there has been a lot of discussion over at Cammy Bean's blog Learning Visions about whether or not someone has the "right" to be called an instructional designer or whether or not you even need to know instructional theories to be called an instructional designer. The argument "I develop instructional design and therefore, I am an instructional designer" is like saying, "I have driven a car fast and therefore I am a NASCAR driver." Or, "I have skied down the same slope as many Olympians, therefore am an Olympic skier."

The effective instructional designer should:
