As an Instructional Designer, you are expected to have deep experience in course authoring tools. The interviewer would like to know which tools you utilize the most and what you use them for in your work. Discuss your top choices, and explain how you use these tools and their impact on training delivery. If you are unsure which resources will have access to while working in this particular role, be sure to ask. If you know the tools and resources used in this role, it's a good idea to discuss your level of familiarity.

"I'm pretty well-experienced in Articulate Rise, Adobe Captivate, and the Microsoft Office suite. My preferred tool for learning programs is Adobe Captivate because of my experience in using it with other Adobe Suite applications such as InDesign, Premiere, and AfterFX. This is one of the reasons your job post really caught my eye. My favorite feature about Captivate is that it can produce content that works well with different devices, which is great for your virtual workforce. Because of my programming background, I find a lot of freedom with the tool. I also think it's perfect for creating software courses, which makes it a great fit for this role."
