Instructional Design is a dynamic field, especially on the technology side. The interviewer wants to learn that you are updated on the new research, the latest technology, best practices, and resources. Talk about a few sources that you subscribe follow, any forums that you are part of, and other resources that keep you up-to-date in the world of learning and development. A successful answer will reveal a commitment to be a lifelong learner.

"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."
