A Self-Regulated Journey: Instructional Designers Seeking Professional Learning Through Social Media

• In Event: RTD- A Self-Regulated Journey: Instructional Designers Seeking Professional Learning Through Social Media

Short Description

Instructional designers (IDs) perceive the importance of continuous professional learning to stay current in the field. Social media (SM) provides affordances to support just-in-time learning without geographical and temporal constraints. However, staying current demands proactive planning and self-regulation in pursuing continuous learning. Guided by an existing framework, we explored IDs’ self-regulated learning experiences using SM for professional learning. We discovered several themes of how IDs support their self-regulated learning and will discuss the implications.
