hi! great question, at the bottom of this article, it says they keep your data for 6months: access.articulate.com/support/article/Articulate-360-FAQs-Free-Trials, so just make sure you have your course link handy. Otherwise, you can download the materials that you've built. You might also want to reach out via their chat functionality to confirm. Just a note - I'd always suggest drafting your content either in a google doc or word doc just in case they do delete your courses after 6 months so you don't have to start over, content-wise. Hope this helps! And thank you for watching!!

@@SamTaylorEd Thanks so much!

Hi! Thanks so much for watching! Yes, quality over quantity is the name of the game here! Start with what you have, and try to make it as excellent as you can. And yes feel free to reach out with any questions :)

Thats a great question! Consider watching some videos on RUclips about video editing, and then start to practice editing videos for your portfolio. I'd also recommend learning about technical writing via Google: developers.google.com/tech-writing/announcements#schedule. Hope this helps!

Yes I totally agree! Gotta keep your hard work for yourself!

hi! yes I think I replied to your submission on 1/8, please check your email/spam :)

Thank you!! Yes this is definitely due for a refresh :) I would say the biggest new skill is probably ChatGPT/AI prompting, meaning knowing how to ask ChatGPT how to help you with certain tasks. I actually have a video about using AI as an ID, which might be useful if you're curious! As for course authoring softwares, nothing really sticks out as more popular these days! Hope that helps :D

Oh yay I'm glad the video can be useful! And good luck with everything, you got this!!!

Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words!!

Thanks so much for watching, Kaylee! Yeah its a fun idea, I did one a few months ago at work for "mindfulness month" and it actually made me do more journaling and therapy than i normally would lol

Glad you're finding them useful, and thank you for watching!

Oh awesome, you got this! Good luck with your interview! And thank you for watching!

Thats a great idea!! Hmmm I think I'll probably do something similar to incentivize, maybe a new book per bingo for me :) And yes I definitely printed mine out, there's something soo satisfying about physically checking off the box! Good luck this year!

Those are great goals! What are some small tasks you would add to the Bingo cells to make them happen?

Hey! Thank you for the kind words, so glad you're looking into Google Sites now! Happy new years to you as well and thank you for watching!

I totally feel that! Actually getting started on a portfolio project is honestly the hardest part - though once you start, it gets easier! But sounds like a really cool graphic, what does a perfect Sunday look like for you??

Haha I know because maybe 8 years ago during winter holiday season was when I also built my portfolio 🤣 you got this!

Thats so awesome! Great to get ahead. What types of things did you include in your portfolio?

Yes definitely! You probably have a lot of great writing and needs analysis experience! Consider building out your LinkedIn profile and starting to create some materials for a portfolio to get started :)

Thanks for watching! I haven't taken any courses actually. Personally, I instead try to create my own videos using these softwares and then if I am confused by something specific, I find a tutorial on RUclips or a blog! But if you prefer a formal course, I think Skillshare has some great options (not sponsored but have poked around their site). Hope this helps!

Thanks for watching! I don't do any consulting/portfolio building at this time, but there are various other tutorials that may also help online!

Thank you!!

Hey! Yes this seems like a reasonable timeline to me. There are lots of things you can accomplish during the school year, especially when it comes to getting your LinkedIn profile, resume, and work experience organized! Consider trying to lead a few extra professional development sessions for fellow teachers or departments, these are great for the resume. Hope this helps - and thanks for watching!

Thats a great point! I think if you build a project within Articulate there may be an option to embed it within a Google Site! Check this link it might be useful: access.articulate.com/support/article/Rise-360-How-to-Embed-Published-Content-in-a-Web-Page

Thats a great question! One way to do this is to recreate the onboarding trainings but for a "generic" company, meaning create a fictional company and recreate a similar onboarding material for it. Or you can screen record the onboarding training and edit out anything that gives away company name or information. Hope that helps!

I would say being able to use the software to build a small project with it - for example a video editor you should be able to create and edit a short video. Or for a course building software, you should be able to build a minicourse with it. Hope this helps!

Sure thing, thanks so much for watching!

Thats a great question! I definitely do not worry about AI taking away from ID jobs. I use AI as a helper to create certain parts of training content, but it definitely cant do it all, especially without the prompt of an Instructional Designer. It needs an ID to ask it for the right things, and even then, most of the work AI produces needs a lot of reworking in order to get it right. Hope that helps!

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!

There's a lot of people that are Instructional Designers without formal teaching experience. I think your Master's and the curriculum you practice building there will provide a great start.

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

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 RUclips 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!
