The Multi-Disciplinary Instructional Designer delves into the potential of invigorating and enhancing the instructional design and development process by drawing principles from various academic fields. While instructional designers share a common academic background and theoretical foundations, they often possess valuable formative knowledge acquired from diverse areas such as different subject disciplines, career paths, creative practices, or intellectual pursuits. However, their traditional training often fails to equip them with the skills to effectively translate these specializations into the creation of more effective educational experiences and materials. This groundbreaking book is the first of its kind, guiding instructional designers to apply key concepts, strategies, and lessons learned from a wide range of disciplines, including the social sciences, arts and humanities, and STEM. Each chapter is filled with real-world example scenarios, reflection activities, and field-tested strategies, offering a comprehensive yet practical reimagining of the profession's potential. By seeking inspiration from across disciplines and from the broader world, instructional designers will emerge with robust and revitalized toolkits, ready to enrich their approach to teaching and learning.
