Episode 57: Interview with JR Dingwall
Dear Instructional Designer
11/29/18 • 39 min
This episode, I am talking with JR Dingwall, a higher ed instructional design consultant who I first met through Jennifer Maddrell and Designers 4 Learning. I chatted with JR over email and I’m super excited to have him on the show because he has a really important story that I want to make sure we cover this season. JR went freelance for a while, and then decided that it wasn’t for him. As someone who is sort of always on the crossroads of this, I’m really interested in how this worked for him!

Episode 36: Season 2 Wrap Up
Dear Instructional Designer
12/22/16 • 8 min
Season 2 of Dear ID is finally over! In this episode, I share some stats about my 2016 year of projects, takeways from Season 2's focus on tools and tech, and what's next for Season 3 of Dear ID. I'm sick (for the first time in forever!) but I wanted to get out this season review.
Also, a call to action for a crazy idea: If you wouldn't mind talking with me for a few episodes in Season 3, reach out!

Episode 31: Interview with Hadiya Nuriddin
Dear Instructional Designer
11/17/16 • 47 min
Today, I sit down with Hadiya Nuriddin, an instructional design and training veteran, who now owns her own consultancy, Focus Learning Solutions. I was interested in having Hadiya on when I heard about her new venture FreshEye Reviews, where she’ll be focusing on simplifying the quality control process for organizations. In this episode, we talk about quality control vs. quality assurance and how we should implement these processes as a non-negotiable in our creation process.

Episode 37: Will You Fit into Deloitte Teardown
Dear Instructional Designer
02/09/17 • 15 min
This episode, I try something a little different! A detailed teardown of the interactive video, Will You Fit into Deloitte?
In keeping with the theme of this season, taking a look at real projects out in the world, I'm doing a series of episodes where I take a deep dive into some interactions, videos, courses, and other learning objects to talk about what I think works, what maybe doesn't work so well, and ideas I think we can take to use in our own work.
As a part of these episodes, I'm also releasing a video version. You can check out the video teardown on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYpR3BodENo
Let me know what you think and if you'd like to hear more (or less) of these!
Episode 56: Back Again with Wes Atkinson
Dear Instructional Designer
11/01/18 • 31 min
This episode we are back with Wes Atkinson, Co-founder and Lead Technical Consultant at Appitierre Ltd, the makers of the Evolve Authoring tool and the Bloom LMS talking about Evolve as a potential tool.
Last episode, Wes and I talked about the challenges surrounding instructional design freelancers. This episode, I’d like to shift focus to looking a bit more at Evolve as one tool in our toolbelt to solve some of those problems. I’m always interested in free and low-cost tools for myself as an independent contributor and I know all are too, so, let’s talk a bit more about Evolve and Bloom as tools.
Episode 55: Interview with Wes Atkinson
Dear Instructional Designer
10/11/18 • 22 min
This episode, I’m with Wes Atkinson, Co-founder and Lead Technical Consultant at Appitierre Ltd, the makers of the Evolve Authoring tool and the Bloom LMS. And we are going to keep on theme about the freelancer journey but with a bit of a twist, from the perspective of a vendor. Which is super awesome! Vendors get a lot of our flack when we talk or complain and they’re at all of these conferences and events, so they talk to a lot of IDs, and so I’m really excited to be hearing things from this perspective.
Episode 54: Building a Network
Dear Instructional Designer
09/27/18 • 16 min
This episode I wanted to talk a bit about how I’ve built and continue to build my network from the perspective of an introvert.
I’m going to tackle this in a three-fold answer. First, I want to talk about the impactful things I’ve been able to do in a way that has still allowed me time to think and articulate myself and be generally introvert-y. Second, I want to talk about conferences especially since I’m such a newbie with them. And then, third, I want to talk about the activities I’d like to begin engaging in in the future.

Episode 52: Interview with Devlin Peck
Dear Instructional Designer
08/30/18 • 44 min
This episode, I am talking with Devlin Peck, a recent instructional design graduate student who jumped into freelancing with both feet while still a student. This episode is particularly exciting for me because Devlin had reached out to me previously as he was looking to break into ID and it’s amazing to see how far he’s come and what I can learn from his approach to his instructional design and elearning development business.
