Connie Malamed

Greetings! I’m Connie Malamed, and I’ll be your guide. I help people like you learn and improve their instructional design skills to gain confidence and proficiency. My superpower is breaking down complex material into clear explanations. I’ve helped hundreds of people gain instructional design competence, and I’d love to help you.

I’ve had my own ID business for 20 years and publish The eLearning Coach website and podcast. I’ve also written two books on visual design and have been honored with the Guild Master award for contributions to the industry. Scroll down to see what members say about the community.

Giulia from Italy

I don’t have enough words to say how important it was to have met Connie and this community. Since I became a member and have taken Connie’s courses, everything has changed. I feel more confident in my job now, which has led me to new opportunities to advance in my career. Also, being a part of an international community is fantastic. I have great peers to speak with and I am always up to date with what happens in the field.

Joining Mastering Instructional Design (MID) was a game-changer for me. The MID community skyrocketed my understanding of E-learning and instructional design. After three months of active participation, I was able to secure a job as an Instructional Designer at Africa Disease Prevention and Research Institution (ADRAP).

Taiye, A., Nigeria

I work as a freelancer and the courses and interaction with others in the community have made me more fluent with the vocabulary of Instructional Designers. Connie’s guidance as a teacher has helped develop my instincts to find the clearest and best solution to my client’s problems.

Since joining the Mastering ID program, I have learned critical skills for becoming an instructional designer, such as needs analysis, audience analysis and visual design. Connie has taught these concepts in a way that is very easy to understand. She is professional,  knowledgeable, very patient and a great motivator. Members of the Community are also a great help and share their knowledge and expertise. I would highly recommend this program to anyone aspiring to enter this field.

The Mastering ID group is a valuable resource for my job accountability, L&D community building and personal growth. With the encouragement of the group, I finished my online portfolio and received real-time feedback. I have a background and Masters in Adult Education/ID, but this group provides new information I need to stay current in my field. I really appreciate Connie’s leadership and focus on learning.

I’m a founding member of Connie’s Mastering Instructional Design group. I’m here today because I always come back to Connie. She is so knowledgeable and approachable. She is the quintessential life-long leaner and is so happy to share her valuable experience with anyone who wants to develop their career in ID.

I completed a master’s program in Instructional Design and Technology last March. This community and Connie’s resources and support made a HUGE impact on my ability to put together my portfolio and to realize that I actually was qualified for an ID job. I am now the new Instructional Designer at a Healthcare Services Group. The information on the members site and our meetings played a very big part in helping me get to this point. So, thank you for all you do for newbies like myself!!!

The trainings are so well organized that even a novice like me was able to understand each of the steps involved in instructional design. I soon found a great passion in learning these new skills. The lessons are broken down into easy steps and Connie is always willing to answer any questions I have. The regular meetups are a great opportunity to meet the rest of the community and if you can’t attend everything is recorded. I really would recommend this community to anyone interested in understanding instructional design.
