After completing the Associate Certificate in Instructional Design, I felt much more confident and knowledgeable in my work! Thanks to the Digital Learning Institute I managed to create interactive and user-friendly eLearning content for everyone in my company. I valued my experience with the Digital Learning Institute so much that a few months later I completed the Professional Diploma in Digital Learning Design which was the perfect addition to the Associate Certificate in Instructional Design.

It has been a truly rewarding journey receiving my Associate Certificate in Instructional Design! Besides learning about the principles and methodologies in Instructional Design throughout the course, we focused on creating a project scoping plan, designing a wireframe and screen plan, as well as writing a comprehensive project report for an eLearning project we planned, as these were the essentials to successfully complete the course!

My experience with the Instructional Design course was incredibly positive and transformative. After two previous attempts at obtaining qualifications in this field, this course stood out due to its diverse and engaging content delivery methods, including videos, voiceover texts, interactive quizzes, ebooks, flip chart content, and templates. This variety not only facilitated my learning but also reinforced the information effectively, making the experience far more interactive than just clicking through screens. The virtual sessions were particularly valuable, as they provided opportunities to learn from fellow students. The final project was an excellent culmination of the course, allowing me to integrate all my learning and receive valuable feedback. This course has been instrumental in my pivot towards instructional design and development. It has even influenced my current role as an Adjunct lecturer, where I've applied the insights gained to enhance my online teaching methods. I wholeheartedly recommend this course and still find the resources provided to be extremely useful in my ongoing professional endeavors.
