IDOL Academy is like an immersion… IDOL Academy is like an immersion school for Instructional Design. I have learned so much in such a short time! It's a great community, and I feel very supported by my coaches, mentors, and peers. The IDOL Academy has a pretty vast wealth of learning resources that I am gradually working my way through in addition to the coursework. Dr.Robin Sargent's positive energy has been a great motivator and confidence booster for me. I was hesitant at first but now I am so glad that I made the decision to join.

Cohort 10 Review Over the past 8 weeks I have learned a lot about Instructional Design. Dr. Robin Sargent and her group of mentors and coaches are wonderful and very informative. The fact that you are never "behind" is a positive thing for me because I did struggle with completing tasks as the school year for me was coming to a close. I am still able to create and submit items and am now getting closer to my goal. Having lifetime access is definitely a win for me and I look forward to my continued learning with IDOL Courses Academy.

IDOL courses Academy - Where to Start your Journey IDOL courses Academy is a great way for those interested in Instructional Design to learn about the craft and what goes into the job. The coaches and mentors are helpful and are there to guide you every step of the way!

IDOL: Supportive and Informative I loved the community, the support, and the plethora of PD available to refer back to as much as needed. I found areas I felt drawn to and really dug in there first. I loved the options to get my work reviewed in multiple settings, and I loved learning how to review others (and knew my craft was sharpening in my ability to do so)

Best decision I've made This is the best decision I made for myself, my family, and my career. I knew I wanted to move into Instructional Design, but I needed direction and help. The access to coaches and mentors and material is not only easy to follow but applicable to the real world of ID and is what was so invaluable. The networking I've been able to do over the past 8 weeks, the portfolio I've created, and the confidence I've gained will only allow me to keep working towards my goals, and I've no doubt I'll reach them.
