Professional development for instructional designers
PD4IDs: Free Professional Development Events
Using an asynchronous model, PD4IDs develops bi-annual professional development for our instructional design colleagues across industries and around the world. Our approach is simple, we collect theme ideas, choose the most requested theme, invite presenters, and create module-based learning sessions. Each session should take no longer than 30 minutes to complete and contains its own discussion board so that participants and presenters can engage throughout the week. We hope you'll check out past events and register for future learning opportunities!!
