“…Some of the studies focused on competencies associated with different work settings such as higher education, corporate, government, K-12, and healthcare (Christensen & Osguthorpe, 2004;Cox & Osguthorpe, 2003;Kenny et al, 2005;Kumar & Ritzhaupt, 2017;Litchfield, 2017;Raynis, 2018;Ritzhaupt & Kumar, 2015). Other studies focused on the challenges, constraints, and contextual issues that IDTs face in their places of employment (Gray et al, 2015;Hoard et al, 2017;Stefaniak et al, 2018). Extant research studies conducted to identify IDT roles and competencies have applied different methodologies.…”

As recognition of the roles and contributions of Instructional Design and Technology (IDT) professionals has increased, so has the demand for their skills in the workplace whether in higher education institutions or business entities. However, there remains some ambiguity, especially in higher education, about who IDTs are and what they do. There are also questions about who is hiring them. This content analysis study of 250 advertised higher education and corporate IDT positions found no fewer than 9 job titles, 13 academic programs, 5 degree levels, work experience from 1 to 10 years, and compensation that ranged from an hourly pay to a six-digit annual salary. Required skillsets included not only technical and analytical expertise but personal qualities. This study was conducted to provide a current look at the employment opportunities for Instructional Designers and Instructional Technologists.

“…Designers, regardless of the design discipline, must have the confidence to conjecture and explore (Cross, 2011). While decision-making is the process of selecting a solution among several possibilities, "design conjecture is the ability to form an opinion based on constrained information and resources to design solutions that take into account systemic factors influencing an environmental context" (Stefaniak et al, 2018). The ability of IDs to mentally construct the problem space is critical to the design of a sustainable solution (Jonassen, 2000).…”

Authentic learning is a pedagogical approach that situates students in real-world settings. Authentic learning experiences in online environments allow learners to solve real-world problems when they immerse in real-world settings. It thereby requires instructional designers to make contextualized design decisions to enhance students’ online authentic learning experiences. The purpose of this paper is to provide instructional designers with a conceptual framework to help guide their instructional design decisions for authentic learning experiences in online environments. We purport that these design decisions should be guided by three constructs: authentic learning, decision-making, and contextual analysis. We also provide recommendations for future research on decision-making practices and processes in instructional design contexts.

Additional research studies have been conducted to explore the challenges instructional designers encounter while working on authentic projects involving multiple stakeholders, constraints, and objectives (Gray et al 2015;Hoard et al, 2017;Stefaniak et al, 2018).…”

This journal will provide a peer-reviewed format for the publication of scholarly articles in the field of applied instructional design. The journal recognizes the role of the practitioner in the work environment and realizes that outside constraints may limit the data collection and analysis process in applied settings. The limitations of real-world instructional design of the practitioner can still provide valuable knowledge for the field.
