    Instructional Design Community

    Design in Motion: Mastering the ID Workflow

    with Matt Fulmer

    Join our upcoming community discussion, Design in Motion: Mastering the ID Workflow, where instructional designers come together to explore effective strategies for managing the many moving parts of e-learning development.

    This session will dive into practical methods for streamlining the instructional design process: from initial planning to final delivery. We'll cover ways to optimize your workflow, reduce production bottlenecks, and implement process documents that actually work in real-world settings.

    Whether you’re juggling multiple projects or trying to bring more structure to your creative process, this discussion is a chance to trade insights with fellow professionals who speak your language.

    We'll also take a deep dive into the art of collaborating with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). Share tips on fostering productive SME relationships, managing expectations, and keeping the review process efficient and collaborative.

    Participants are encouraged to bring their own questions, success stories, and process hacks. Whether you're a solo ID or part of a larger team, this is your space to connect, learn, and refine the way you work.

    Leadership Community

    Put Employee Wellness Front and Center

    with Dr. Lencia L Marshall

    Leaders play a big role in supporting employee wellness—and it starts with trust and authenticity. When leaders step up, act boldly, and create a supportive environment, they boost productivity, engagement, and morale across the board. The most successful workplaces are those where well-being is woven into the culture.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • Why employee wellness is a strategic priority—not just a nice-to-have

    • How open conversations about mental health can build trust and boost retention

    • What leaders can do to model healthy behaviors and drive team well-being

    Why Wellness Matters:

    Healthy employees are happy and productive. With work demands higher than ever, prioritizing wellness has never been more important. A workplace that truly supports its people—physically, mentally, and emotionally—leads to greater satisfaction and long-term success. Comprehensive wellness programs that address the whole person can make a lasting impact.

    Join us for this important conversation and walk away with practical strategies to make wellness a natural part of your leadership approach.
