Churning IDs - Part 1
With the advent of e-learning, instructional designers are the most-sort-after species these days. I have personally observed that getting a bunch of creative minds to work on instructional designing is not duck soup. IT involves,
1. Identifying the profile of candidates to suite the project (IT, non IT, special subjects...).
2. Sourcing prospective candidates from some consultant or through WOM or ad.
3. Interviewing, testing, negotiating...
After all this, find that the one you chose is not the one you wanted!
How to solve this problem?
Fix. Take in people the way you have planned the recruitment process, then put them through an intensive training on instructional strategies, theories, methodologies, style guides, tests... Shape them up to take on the challenge, give them that float board to get them into water.
Solution. This would take a minimum of one month, but sure to work. This has worked in the past but let me warn you. You need some brand mileage to take up this solution.
But wait... I reserve that solution for my next post.
