My Top 3 Instructional Design Pet Peeves

Dr. Luke Hobson
About this episode

There are certain types of phrases that can trigger an instructional designer. Learning styles, using "understand" in learning objectives, cognitive overload, last minute stakeholder changes, and more are enough to drive the best instructional designer crazy. Over the years, I've had to channel these grievances into more productive ways with sharing best practices. But even now, there are still some things that pop up where I shake my head and pray for divine intervention. So come commiserate with me as we talk about my top three instructional design pet peeves.
