What does an instructional designer do?

In the past few months, I’ve been asked by a number of different people what an instructional designer does and how to get into the field. I love instructional design because it is a field where I am constantly learning and I have a great variety in what I do. I use so many different skills—writing, web design, graphics, collaboration, planning, plus of course how people learn. Since this question has come up more than once, I thought it would be useful to collect all the information I have emailed people privately and post it here. http://christytucker.wordpress.com/2007/05/26/what-does-an-instructional-designer-do/

Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning Domains

A committee of colleges, led by Benjamin Bloom (1956), identified three domains of educational activities: Cognitive : mental skills ( Knowledge ) Affective : growth in feelings or emotional areas ( Attitude ) Psychomotor : manual or physical skills ( Skills ) Since the work was produced by higher education, the words tend to be a little bigger than we normally use. Domains can be thought of as categories.
