Right?! It was soo amazing! I really hope I can be that person for someone someday :) thanks for watching!

Oooh very cool! You got this!

Sure thing - thanks for watching!

Yesss its so important - sometimes we need to keep ourselves in mind too :) Thanks for watching!

It took a while for me to figure it out, hopefully it will help you and your team! Thanks for watching!!

Very cool! Yes I think parts of it are super similar - I do a lot of video editing, graphic design, etc!

It is definitely expensive!! That’s why I rarely go to in person conferences but I want to! I think generally online/virtual conferences are more affordable. But Some companies have education stipends or will pay for professional development conferences - something to look into! And you’ve given me an idea to make another short on low cost/free conferences, so thank you!!

@@SamTaylorEd I didn't know about online conferences were cheaper. I'll check that out! In my prior profession, conferences, student rates like $300 and professional were like $600 in person. And I've gone to when they were local to me, I live in a big conference area that many go to! And I went when my job pays for the hotel, conference, etc. So I thought they were prices like that for the 3 days. But I never so shocked when I looked at the DevLearn brochure. I was crushed! I'm just learning ID reading books, watching tutorials, taking free classes, etc. I don't have in my budget like $2,800 to attend a conference, so a low cost option would be great for career changers like me or early career would be ideal! I'm glad that this comment sparked the idea for free or low cost conference!!! Because we need more cost effective events! I love learning in conferences! I imagine that this would be a hit! I look forward to it! 😁

@@SamTaylorEd I think there would be enough ID professional to have a presentation for the credit, notaririty, and another lecture they could put on their resume to speak at you free/ low cost conference.

Sure thing! Thanks so much for watching!

That's a great plan! You got this!!

Haha thank you! I tried lol

Hi! Thats awesome to hear, sounds like you have some really transferrable skills for ID! I don't really recommend investing in Articulate, I think you can accomplish a lot by creating a free (or low-cost) website, and then adding projects like videos, blog posts, training outlines/curriculum, and training slide decks. However, if you want to get a bit of experience with Articulate, I'd suggest watching a few UA-cam tutorials and then signing up for a 1-2 week free trial to play around and create something using the software. Hope that helps!

Hi! I would say Map It by Cathy Moore (amzn.to/4cAp6xC)) is a great book for this :)

But i am also happy to make a video as well!

Hi! Congrats on your new journey! Thanks for the feedback - I'll definitely do summaries as I read them. For beginners, I'd recommend: 1) Map It by Cathy Moore (amzn.to/4cAp6xC) 2) Design for how people learn (amzn.to/3XbY9fm) And I haven't read these yet, but I think they could work for beginners, too! • Kirkpatrick's four levels of training evaluation • How to measure training results Hope that helps!

@@SamTaylorEd ok thank you for the recommendation! The first book I read is Julie Dirkson book, Design for How People Learn. It was really good book! I'll order Map it next! I know you have a book too. I want to get that too! I want to get so many books but I can only read 1 at a time!!! Thank you again for your content!

Thank you for watching!

It was honestly the best thing anyone has done for my career! Really hope I can pay it forward one day :)

Ohhh that is so awesome to hear!!! Glad you found it helpful and thank you for watching!!

Oh yes that is definitely a common question! Glad it was helpful and thank you for watching!!

😬 i cant help it lololol feels so mean to not say it 🤣

@@SamTaylorEd Lol I do the same thing with my Alexa. Thanks for the great tips!

Hahah its a habit at this point! Thanks so much for watching!

Sure thing, have fun!!

Hmm I couldnt find any free versions online, but you can check your library or purchase the eBook versions of them. hope this helps!

@@SamTaylorEd Thank you for the answer 🙏🏻

Omg congrats!! You're going to do great :) If you have any questions feel free to ask! Wishing you the best of luck!

@@SamTaylorEd tysm. i would love to ask, since my education background in chemistry, any good ID textbooks for beginners?

@@uppermoonzeroo I really like Map It by Cathy Moore!

Congrats on transitioning to a new career! Sounds like you will have a lot of transferrable skills. I would say its important to practice your writing skills, so consider trying to write a few blog posts a week (maybe about topics in IT!) Hope this helps!

Sure thing! Thank you for watching! Are you planning to build out a portfolio??

Thanks so much for watching - and yes you're definitely not alone! Feel free to ask any questions you have along the journey. You got this!

Yes I totally agree!

Thank you!!! And yes usually i do a lot of the research myself but if a SME has a deck or doc handy then I use that too! And lots of chatting with SMEs when i have a million questions lol. But i guess that's what keeps it interesting 🤣

@@SamTaylorEd good to know. thats a lot of responsibility and information to keep in your head to break down into smaller digestible pieces for people.

@@SidneyBuckner it really is lol

Hi @SamTaylorEd thank you for these videos! I just bought your teacher to instructional designer book yesterday on Kindle. It’s been very helpful! Question: Since the Articulate suite is so popular for a number of jobs, how proficient should one become in using this software before applying to ID jobs? Thanks in advance!

Hello! Thank you so much for your support! I would say if the job description asks for it, you should probably have experience building one or two courses/trainings with it (including creating the course modules, adding content, editing the style/structure of the course, navigating the course settings, etc.). I'd also suggest watching a few videos about how to use the software as you build. This could be done using a free trial of the software! Hope that helps!

Sure thing! Thanks so much for watching!

Hi! Great question - unfortunately I am not qualified to speak on benefits at all! I still have to ping my HR team all the time to ask a million questions 🤦‍♀️ wish it wasn't so confusing!! As for other benefits, it really depends on the company. Some offer great other benefits like 401k matches and great maternity/paternity leave, but it really just varies company to company!

Can't wait to check it out - thank you so much for your encouragement and support!

Thank you so much for your support! And yay I'm glad its helping with the stress :)

Thank you my friend!!!!

Thank you so much! And yes totally agree!

I've worked at various tech companies of different sizes! You can definitely gain experience on your own, but both options are great depending on what works for you!

thank you for watching!
