Episode 6

Tuesday, April 13, 2021 • Duration 28:29

Cara's one of those people that is 100% walking the walk and talking the talk. She's an incredibly active instructional designer whom is likely doing double shifts every day not only to bring the best instructional products to market in her day job, but also acting as a true ambassador for the field at large. If somehow you've stumbled upon this podcast without finding her on LinkedIn, YouTube, or elsewhere you need to go rectify that immediately!

Hey everyone, thank you for your patience as Comprehensive Exams put the whole podcast situation on a brief hiatus.

One on One with Clarke Dale

Season 1 · Episode 4

Tuesday, March 9, 2021 • Duration 36:11

We're changing it up! I'd initially planned on this 4th episode to be a bit a of a mixture of all the one on one interviews but they all wound up being so good. I'm going to release them individually, this'll bring the final episode count up to 8 so I'm not quite sure I can quantify it as a mini-series at this point but that's not the point! Anyway, this episode features Clarke Dale, who is the Product Lead for Distance Based Learning at FlightSafety International, and is just one of the most solid, nice, dangerously handsome people I know on this planet. In this episode we take a deeper dive into some of the questions and topics that were brought up in the focus group as well as hear the unique elements that make Instructional Design meaningful to Clarke. Hope you enjoy!
