An excellent start... IDOL Courses is a great place to begin if you're thinking about transitioning to Instructional Design. Everything you need to get started is right there at your fingertips, AND you have lifetime access to it. It has been such a rewarding experience. I have learned so much, and I feel very ready to apply to jobs and move into the next phase of my career.

IDOL Courses has given me direction and… IDOL Courses has given me direction and confidence to progress in my career in Digital Learning. I am glad I took the decision to enroll in the IDOL course. Special thanks to mentors, coaches, and IDOL community members who helped me gain hone my IDOL skills with their valuable feedback and constant support.

Some questions were confusing Some questions were confusing; especially the options given for ADDIE. I think that the options need to be clearly expressed concerning the tasks done during each of the phases. This would make it more meaningful. It would also be helpful if the answers to the questions were explained once the responses are submitted.

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.
