Instructional Design Q&A with Dr. Heidi Kirby and William Cronje | Learning Objectives, AI, Learning Engineering vs LXD vs ID, Promotions, and more

The Dr. Luke Hobson Podcast

Joining us today are the wonderful Dr. Heidi Kirby and William Cronje!

Today's questions:

• What are the best ways to list learning objectives at the course and unit levels in a way that learners can effectively connect with them and understand what they will learn?
• Why hasn't AI been able to replicate human voice and mannerisms yet for the ed tech space?
• What exactly is learning engineering, and how is it different from instructional design and learning experience design (LXD)
• Should instructional designers have web development skills like HTML, CSS and JavaScript?
• Will instructional designers replace the traditional learning and development roles in corporate training that are mostly human resource roles today?
• Is there a trend towards more corporations promoting senior instructional designers to the role of Chief Learning Officer or will that continue to be a human resource role?
