    Module One: Discussion - ID Competencies and Jobs

    Research
    Activity 2 — ID Competencies and Jobs Research
    One of the deliverables that we will create as a team throughout the course is a list of competencies for
    Instructional Designers. As you create this list, reflect on your current skills and talents and gauge
    where you feel you have developed competencies.

    Step 1
    Research job listings for current instructional design competencies — Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
    (KSAs) — and desired qualifications.
    Resources for job listings include, but are not limited to:

     Your local paper


     Monster.com (Links to an external site.)
     USAJobs (Links to an external site.)
     Glassdoor (Links to an external site.)
     Indeed (Links to an external site.)
     Virtual ID Jobs (Links to an external site.)
     Clarity Consultants (Links to an external site.)
     Instructional Design Central (Links to an external site.)
     Chronicle of Higher Education (Links to an external site.)
     HigherEdJobs.com (Links to an external site.)
     Association for Talent Development (Links to an external site.) (formerly known as ASTD)
    Step 2
    Document at least five competencies and post them to the discussion board along with your responses
    to the following questions:
     What differences did you observe for required competencies by field (for example Government
    positions vs. military vs. higher education vs. K12, etc.)?
     Was there any differentiation between Instructional Designers and Instructional Technologists? If
    yes, what were the differences?
     If you were to apply for one of these jobs, what would you include in your portfolio?
    You may find these articles interesting:

    As you learn more throughout the course and the ID Certificate Program, you will gain a deeper and
    broader skillset and hopefully gain more confidence as an Instructional Designer.

    Step 3
    Be sure to post your findings on this discussion board.
