This week’s Articulate challenge is to list 10 things instructional designers don’t like to hear.
IDs with jobs will always have issues to resolve – (let’s hear it for gainful employment!) – and I’m grateful every day that I get to do this work.
Yummy ID Goodness
But there’s very little that comes my way that I don’t like to hear, and most of it is completely positive and makes me giddily happy. So I wrapped up some of the tastiest treats I hear (along with a couple of minor tricks) just in time for Halloween. I also put them into a quick interaction in Storyline that you can see here.
Scarily True
Each of these is real, all of them have come from my clients, and every one of them is completely sincere. I’ve also added some comments below under each one.
What Tasty Treats Have You Heard?
I know I’m not the only ID who gets to hear great things like this. If you feel like sharing, I’d love to hear from you in the comments below!
Treat: I can use unlimited creativity? Count me in!
Treat: A sincere statement. The outcome is #9.
Treat: Flexibility plus they’ll wait to work with me!
Trick: They said this, but it all worked out just fine.
Treat: Score! Working on this project right now.
Trick: They can ask, but they know I don’t do LMS stuff.
Treat: One of my favorites. Good characters work!
Treat: Love this. A SME on video conveying great stuff.
Treat: Continuation of #2. She absolutely was the best.
Treat: There’s no happier phrase than this. More work!
Jackie – Thank you for this positive spin, glad to see your hard work receives glorious feedback!
Haaaaa :) I know yours must too!! I’ve been scrambling with work, but I’m looking forward to checking out your zombie entry…
Hey Jackie, very simple and great!
I particularly liked the comments below the Treats and Tricks. I so much agree with you on number ten, Good work means more work and more work means good work! Love it when I hear it too…
Hi Daniel –
Thank you! Yes, decided to keep it super simple this week. :)
That’s a good way to put it – “good works means more work, and more work means good work”.
Hope you’re doing well, Daniel! As always, thanks so much for your great comments.
Very clever Jackie!
Thanks Dianne! :)
