What do you do if your passion for E-Learning is not coming across in an interview?
If your passion for e-learning is not coming through in an interview, maybe it's because you don't have a passion for e-learning. Rather than fake it, consider that not everyone has a passion for e-learning. Personally, I prefer to engage in person. In an interview, be honest about it. While e-learning has become a common standard and a fact of life in our post-lockdown world, why do we have to be passionate about it? Consider the objectives of the job you're interviewing for. The company may be looking for someone who is more extroverted, or someone who will be engaging with customers/other employees in a leadership role. Or maybe they're tired of e-learning themselves. Honesty might just be the thing that sets you apart.

A good training program can ultimately provide big benefits: efficiency, quality, and cost-savings, to name a few; and an experienced, well-informed instructional designer can make or break a training program. The job of the instructional designer is to turn raw content into a learning experience that is efficient, effective, and appealing. It is an art form that requires content mastery, development resources, creativity, and formal training in learning theory. Course development should be based on time-proven, research-based theories and practices.
This paper provides an industry-centered overview of the course development process from start to finish with a focus on only one product: the test. It explains why the best tests are created as an integral part of the course rather than as an afterthought and introduces the best practices for ensuring that the right things are measured in an efficient, effective method, down to the minute practices involved in test item construction.
