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. As a recent graduate of Educational Technology, 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).

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 believe I’m on the right track to becoming an Instructional Designer. 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!!!

As a Programme Assistant organising logistics for our training courses I had no experience of what was involved in creating e-learning courses. When my organization gave me the option to join Connie’s Master Instructional Design Community, I jumped at the opportunity.

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 to 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.
