Talk me through your design process.
Numerous factors influence the instructional design process of any given company: the industry, the size and structure of the workforce, the training subject, timeline, and budget, to name a few. As such, the hiring manager is not expecting a standard answer to this question. They will want to hear that follow a process at all, and not just develop courses willy-nilly. Ensure them that there is rhyme and reason to every step that you take in the development process.
"In general, I follow the ADDIE (Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate) model or some form of it. In my current role, I usually get directives from my superiors on the training subject, so there isn't much training needs analysis needed. The only analysis I would then conduct is on the audience to determine how best to deliver the training and on the content to assess its viability for training. Then, I'll put together the session plan containing the general topics, the modules under them, the delivery method for each one, and time allotments. This will need to be evaluated and approved by my training manager first. Once approved, I can start the actual design. First, I'll write all the content, gather graphic and video assets, then create the storyboard. If I decide that asynchronous, virtual delivery would be best, I'll create the module in the Articulate Rise platform. If it's going to be instructor-led, then I will have to develop slides, audio or video assets, and printed materials. As each module is completed, I submit it to my manager for evaluation and approval."
