Master of Integration: An Intellectual Field Guide for Instructional Designers

• In Event: Book Shares- Instructional Design in the Field (v)

Short Description

Instructional designers and many faculty have developed expertise in other fields before ‘discovering’ a love of education. By approaching work with a cross-disciplinary lens, we propose that these educators become a master of integration, taking their knowledge and expertise and weaving it such a way to be complementary to the knowledge of professional partners such as other designers and subject matter experts. Through experience, designers find tools or techniques to include in their work. This book attempts to curate lived experience from other professions which can be used by designers and faculty to share with colleagues.

Master of Integration: An Intellectual Field Guide for Instructional Designers introduces the reader to perspectives of experts in varied topics. This melding of skills sets, and conceptual knowledge holds the potential to influence how we perceive design and cultivate richer experiences for students.
