What is Level 1 evaluation? How do I apply Bloom’s Taxonomy to my design? What sort of data collection tool will work for my needs assessment? How is instructional design different when developing a blended solution? How do I manage a complex design project?

These are just a few questions I receive from L&D professionals. You may even be one of them. Here’s the good news. You’re not alone.

I am pleased to share with the L&D Community of Practice that new ATD Resource Centers can help learning departments find quick answers to questions and issues they face. In particular, the Instructional Design Resource Center, focuses on answering your questions on:

  • needs assessment
  • learning theories and approaches
  • design
  • developing content and materials
  • measurement and evaluation. 

Designed for teams of 10 or more, each resource center offers curated content in multiple formats:

  • how-to videos
  • conference session recordings
  • webcasts
  • magazine articles
  • books
  • discussions that address the most important topics across the talent development field.

Bottom line: Content in the Resource Centers will help your teams solve problems faster and find the most up-to-date role-specific tools and resources to improve their projects. Your team will be able to quickly find short videos, articles about emerging topics, books, and job aids that will help them increase their knowledge and practice new skills.
