February 13, 2009, Newsletter Issue #105: Instructional Design vs. Teaching Degree

Tip of the Week

Is an ID degree better than a general teaching degree? This really depends on what you want to do professionally. If you're more a people person and want interaction with students on a daily basis, a teaching degree might be a better option. While developing programs, the ID profession is often a solo job, but it can also combine the subjects of computers and education to better teach students. Plus, instructional design offers opportunities that teach the program's use to educators. The best way to make such a decision is to talk to those who work in the field. Many times, colleges offer alumni connections and mentor programs. Investigate such an avenue to make your decision.
