Whenever I remember how I started my instructional designer journey, the image that comes to mind is an iceberg with only a small portion sticking out of the water. The bulk of it remains hidden underneath.
I learned that it was crucial for a course creator to have lots of information and resources, but share just what learners needed to know. Another key takeaway was that materials needed to be constantly revised and updated.
So far, so good. I’m sure none of this sounds like groundbreaking news. However, these days there are so many changes and so much information coming our way constantly that you cannot help but wonder how instructional designers make heads and tails of what’s relevant and what’s just background noise.
In this article, you will find some strategies on working through all of it and avoiding getting overwhelmed.
