What I Wish I Knew Before Becoming an Instructional Designer is a great read, especially for those hoping to enter the field of instructional design. The writing is candid, engaging, and encouraging. When it comes to instructional design and trying to learn about the field, there is so much to get bogged down with, but Dr. Luke Hobson lays things out so it feels manageable while also setting realistic expectations. Thank you for sharing your experiences and insights!

    Just what I needed!  I loved this book!
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 1, 2022*

If you are looking to learn more about the field of instructional design, how to become one or what it is like to be one, look no further as Dr. Luke Hobson has carefully crafted an engaging look at the field of instructional design. By sharing his winding path into the field, he normalizes the unusual path that many budding instructional designers find themselves on.  What I Wish I Knew … is well organized and each chapter contains a wealth of information on the pros and cons, how to develop your skills and connections to tips on how to “obliterate” imposter syndrome and excellent insights to grow your career.  Each bit of information and advice is tied directly to the author’s own experiences which he so carefully weaves throughout the book.  At the end of each chapter, the reader is provided with real world, practical activities to apply as well as a quick reflection activity to further deepen the reader’s experience. I highly recommend this book for both emerging and experienced instructional designers. Dr. Hobson’s writing style is light, yet direct and easy to connect with. My copy is now well-decorated with post-its and dog-ears for quick and easy future reference. I know that I will be referring to it time and time again, a sure sign of a well-written, practical book!

    The exact kind of guidebook that you would wish for
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 5, 2022*

If you are transitioning into Instructional Design, or are new to ID, you may be wondering where to start. There are all these things that are looming over your head: I need a portfolio. I need to network. Do I need an additional degree? How do I network? Dr. Hobson has answered all of these and more, in this book. It's like he kept a journal of the things he wondered about, then used his now vast experience to talk to his younger self.In tackling a different question in each chapter, the book is easy to read and follow. Although I read the book in one sitting, a couple of the chapters are now part of my regular go-to resources. Chapter 13 on how to work with SMEs gave me practical tips that transformed interactions with my current set of SMEs from awkward to genial. Highly recommend!
