IDSI Recognized for Webinar Series by the University of West Florida

PENSACOLA, Fla. - May 1, 2017 - PRLog -- This past week, IDSI employees from our Pensacola office attended a showcase hosted by the College of Education and Professional Studies at the University of West Florida (UWF). During the assembly, IDSI was honored as an "Outstanding Community Partner" for the webinar series that we offered to the UWF Department of Instructional, Workforce and Applied Technology.

IDSI has partnered with the Department to host a series of webinars for Instructional Design and Technology graduate students during the Spring semester. These webinars provided students with an opportunity to interact with local professionals in their field of study and gain additional insights into best practices in the field. Between 5 and 10 students attended each of the four webinars. The topics for the webinars were:

• "Gaming Before Instruction: An Instructional Design Process Overview"
• "Corporate versus Contract: What Every New Instructional Designer Must Know"
• "Collaboration: Working with Programmers, Graphic Artists, QA, and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs)"
• "I've Graduated. Where do I go from Here?"

IDSI Instructional Designer, Angelia Byers, chaired the webinar committee which also included IDSI Instructional Designers Chris Dunkle and Caroline McGill. Together, the committee decided on the topics and the approach for each webinar. Ms. Byers acted as liaison between IDSI and UWF, and also moderated two of the webinars and was a panelist on one.

Per the Department's Chair and Associate Professor, Dr. Nancy Hastings, IDSI will once again host webinars during the 2017 – 2018 academic year. We will modify the schedule to offer four total webinars, two in the Fall and two in the Spring.
