Trends in Instructional Systems Design – Let’s Talk! (with the MD ATD Health Care and Public Health Community of Practice)

ATD MD Healthcare and Public Health Talent Development Community of Practice meeting with guest facilitator Jocelyn Parks 

Topic: Trends in Instructional Systems Design – Let’s Talk!

Date and Time: March 18th, 2023 - 9:30-10:30 am

Description:

Join us for a group conversation focused on the latest trends in Instructional Systems Design. This session, facilitated by Jocelyn Parks, is meant to be an informal chat on what you noticed in 2022 and what you think may happen in 2023 with talent development in healthcare. Some newer trends we might discuss include artificial intelligence (AI), using nostalgia to drive learning, or how we help Gen Z learn. We can also look at the current state of our roles in the talent development world. What has changed? What are we doing differently today that we weren’t doing a couple of years ago, or even last year?

These are just suggestions to think about before we meet. If there are other trends that interest you, bring them too and come prepared to listen to, talk with, and learn from each other.
