Instructional designers aren’t ready for their interviews. Often, current and former graduate students ask for advice about how to be successful when they interview for instructional design positions. Yes, I have my opinions, but I wanted you to hear from someone I admire. Let’s welcome guest blogger, Alice Cutter, who has been interviewing MANY IDs for positions in her firm. And these are not the first ID positions she has attempted to fill. Not by a long shot. Here’s what Alice wrote: We just finished a job search to find four Instructional Designers. My team was surprised to find that many candidates were unable to answer the simplest of questions.
There are countless reasons why some interview well and others don’t. Another thought is that perhaps candidates don’t take enough time to carefully read the specifics of a job posting. Thank you to Alice for refocusing our attention on the interview. $150,000 Settlement Reached in Blind Florida State Students' E-Learning Suit - Wired Campus. Florida State University has resolved a lawsuit that was brought by two blind students who accused the university of discrimination due to inaccessible technology.
Under the settlement, the university agreed to pay each student $75,000 and “to continue its efforts to make courses accessible to all students,” according to a news release issued by the National Federation of the Blind, which helped the students bring their lawsuit last summer. Florida State did not admit liability or wrongdoing. The students, Christopher S. Toth and Jamie A. Principato, had argued that a mathematics course relied on e-learning systems that were inaccessible to people with disabilities. The students could not access software that was used for homework and tests, their lawsuit said.
The National Federation of the Blind has filed related complaints against New York University, Northwestern, and Penn State. Return to Top. Sketch Nation Shooter. WhatTheFont. Tutorials.
