DESCRIPTION:\n  Breaking into Instructional Design: A Course for Editors\n    Seeking New Opportunities and Challenges\n  \n\nwith Liz Warwick\n  \n\nWhen: Four Tuesdays\, January 12\, 19\, 26\, and February 2\, 2021\, 7:00\n  to 8:30 pm\nWhere: All sessions are via Zoom\n\nIn this interactive workshop\, we’ll explore how editors can use their\n  skills to move into the world of instructional design\, a field that is\n  growing rapidly as demand for online courses increases. Instructional\n  designers focus on helping people learn effectively. They work with\n  schools\, universities\, businesses\, governments\, and non-governmental\n  organizations to design and create a wide range of learning and\n  training materials. An instructional designer may structure\, write\, or\n  edit content for an online course\; create a storyboard for a training\n  module\; create a job aid to help someone perform a specific task\; and\n  much\, much more.\nThis workshop will include short presentations\, readings\, and\n  discussions and lots of opportunities to practise skills through\n  in-class exercises and at-home assignments.\nBy the end of this course\, participants will be able to:\n\n  Describe the role of an instructional designer\, including the\n    range of activities and tasks instructional designers might be asked\n    to carry out\n  Specify the essential skills and knowledge instructional designers\n    need\, including how to analyze audience needs\, create learning\n    objectives\, identify learning strategies\, and build educational content\n  Explore how editors and writers may already have these essential\n    skills\, and discuss how to demonstrate this to clients\n  Create and evaluate prototype instructional materials\, including\n    learning objectives\, part of a needs analysis\, a high-level course\n    design plan\, and a simple storyboard\n  Identify different pathways for finding instructional design work\n    and acquiring additional skills in the field\n\n\n  Liz Warwick is an editor and writer who returned to\n  Concordia University mid-career to complete a master’s degree in\n  educational technology. Since then\, she has divided her work life\n  between instructional design and editing. This year\, she is helping an\n  Ontario university bring their courses online\, managing several\n  instructional design projects for a Vancouver-based training company\,\n  editing a romantic fiction trilogy and a book on changing careers\, and\n  serving as branch chair for Editors BC.
