Onboarding Workshop for New Instructional Designers

A five-day workshop grounding new ID team members in design history, foundational theory, emerging trends, and the full ADDIE framework — built for practice, not just lecture.

New instructional designers often enter teams with inconsistent foundations — strong in some areas, uncertain in others. This workshop addresses that gap with a structured, five-day onboarding experience that moves participants from the roots of the field through practical application of the ADDIE model. Presented by Dr. Don'Teisha Samuel at Instructional Design Co., Conference Room B.
