“If I wanted to learn, I had to start with a new slate<\/strong>“<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Now after a year in the program and taking seven courses so far, I have come along way, currently, I wear both lenses the business one and the instructional design one, I am happy with the outcomes because learning is part of everything and business as well. I find that both fields complement each other for me. I use business skills such as communication, project management, budgeting, and planning in my instructional design work, and vice versa!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My interest and experience in entrepreneurship are reflected in my choices of projects and topics to work on in my instructional design program. I have a goal of building an open-source learning material for business owners to help them with developing the skills they need to manage their business. This might sound ambitious but it is not impossible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I have taken a shift, but I did not press delete! I still use my previous knowledge and experience to develop my unique take on both worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you shifted from a completely different field to instructional design? would love to hear about your experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
