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 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.

IDOL is an incredible academy to learn… IDOL is an incredible academy to learn instructional design skills. There is absolutely no way I could have accomplished as much as I have the past 7 weeks on my own. The community is the best part about the course. The feedback and support from fellow cohort members as well as the guidance and leadership from coaches and mentors makes the course worth every penny. The reason why I would not rate the academy a 5/5 is because I do believe the course could be improved in several ways. Some of the lessons are include too much information that is not broken down enough for beginners. It is also difficult to locate materials at times. The course has undergone changes recently that have made it better, but the videos do not always reflect those changes. For example, it is not uncommon for the instructions or videos to refer to course materials that are no longer available or in use in the academy. This makes meeting expectations difficult. Overall, I would highly recommend this course.

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.

Exactly what I needed! IDOLCourses Academy is exactly what I needed to quickly learn essential skills and resources for instructional design success. Dr. Robin, coach Cindy, and mentors Chris, Mandy, CJ and Tracy were amazing! The learning curve was steep but the support kept me on track and I was able to reach my goal of obtaining the eLearning Developer badge in 8 weeks. I look forward to continuing my IDOLCourses Academy journey and growing my knowledge and skills in instructional design.
