How do you continue to educate yourself in the field of instructional design?

"There are two general ways in which I ensure that I am continuously learning. The first way is through my regular tasks. A lot of my work hinges on research. I always make it a point to have a 360-degree point of view to research. Regardless of the subject I'm designing a course for, I look at contemporaries, competitors, and even academic resources to inform my design. I learn from what they do and what they don't do. The second way that I ensure continuous learning is by following certain influencers in the learning and space, as well as L&D networking groups in social media. I like to read up on the latest news, innovation, and what better source than the best in the business."
