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!

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.

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.

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.

This is another one of my favorite interactive video-type interactions. It has a simulation game as a major part of the experience and I think you'll really enjoy taking a deeper look into why it works. This episode, I talk the original context of the interaction, taking a look at the video narrative setup and the game mechanics, and how this sort of thing might be integrated into a learning experience.

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

I'm reading more and more around doing effective work, being in flow, and being productive and all of that suggests that all of these shallow attention-pulls like social media and phone apps, etc. should be shunned (for the most part) in favor of getting things done. But as the best of these productivity gurus will also admit, we are expected to give some attention to this kind of shallow work. How can you find the balance between doing work and sharing that work? I think livestreaming might help.

When I say game makers, I mean tools that democratize making (mostly 2D) games. This broad category of tools can be less expensive, more versatile, and still allow offer you the same experience in creating effective learning experiences.

With the recent announcement about Articulate 360, while exciting, I got to thinking that this episode may be even more relevant for other ID newbies who may feel priced out of that new platform.

I've been contributing to an open source project myself for several months now and I've started a daily(ish) coding practice on game development and the further along I go into my coding and LX design journey, the more admiration I have for the principles of open source. Wouldn't it be great for other newbies if we could be more open with each other?

Ashley talks us through yet another option for all you IDs out there: having a full time job, while also having a side business.

Ashley is our first ID in higher-ed. Anyone interested in ID in this field, listen up! ID in higher ed is a very different animal from roles with the same title that are focused on professional development or user instruction. Ashley shares some insight into how she works with SMEs in higher ed, how she balances having a business on the side, as well as some insight into the conference/presentation scene.
