Do you need an instructional design degree to be an instructional designer? It’s a fantastic question since most of us accidentally fell into the ID field. So, how do you know if a degree is right for you and your career? To help with your decision, I brought in two experts in the ID field to share their perspectives. The first you are going to hear from is Tim Slade, the founder of eLearning Designer’s Academy and the author of the wildly popular The eLearning Designer's Handbook. You’ll hear from Tim about his ID journey, his thoughts around degrees, and what employers are looking for in an instructional designer. He also talks about strategies for aspiring instructional designers on how to maneuver around the degree qualification topic.
