Today’s episode is a special one because we have an amazing guest who is going to be talking about two relevant topics in instructional design land. The first is Camtasia. It’s the signature video editing tool that instructional designers use and that employers are looking for. We talk all about how to develop your skills with this tool and how to impress potential employers. Our second topic is voice acting. I have seen so many postings about voiceover work lately in the instructional design community and yet I know nothing about this. I didn’t know how people got into this line of work or how they found the opportunities to showcase this skill. Luckily for us, Alex Mitts is an expert in both areas and he shares with us all of his tips. You’ll hear about how a former teacher became an instructional designer and then got into voice acting work for Netflix. It’s a crazy story and I know you are going to get a ton out of this episode.

As instructional designers, we should be using data to help inform our decisions when it comes the learning experiences of our courses and programs. Data can tell us so much about our students with learning behaviors, learning analytics, and even instructional design principles. How do we interpret this data though? One compelling case is to use Educational Data Mining (EDM). Joining us today is Smruti Sudarshan, an eLearning Training Specialist atLinkedIn, and she'll guide us through everything we need to know about EDM.  Connect with Smurti: LinkedIn Website Blog Posts Ebook Waitlist: Join the Waitlist To learn more about myself and show: Join our FB Group Follow me on LinkedIn Follow me on Twitter Follow me on FaceBook Subscribe to my YouTube Channel Read my Blog Join the Mailing List Thinking of corporate instructional design? Check out IDOL Courses Academy Want to take your higher education instructional design skills to the next level? Check out Instructional Design Institute.

“What does an instructional designer actually do?” A quick Google search will pop up some amazing videos, podcasts, and blogs about a day in the life of an instructional designer from a corporate perspective or a freelance perspective. I didn’t see the same types of results though for higher education, and I have an educated guess as to why: it’s ridiculously hard to describe the typical day.  In today’s episode, I break down a day in the life of an instructional designer at MIT and share a few tips for new IDs thinking about the higher ed field.
