Review for the course "discover instructional designers-for beginners

This e-learning course helped me a lot in knowing about the basics of id and about what role a beginner could play effectively in the beginning phase of their career. Also, this course won’t get fulfilled unless or until you get teaching guidance from Purnima herself.
After going through the ID for beginners course I have confidence that I would be able to at least explain StoryBording/Scripting in an ID interview. I only felt writing Objectives could have been explained better. As novices in the ID field, we need to learn how to write Objectives in a more detailed way as it is also part of the final assessment. Writing Objectives should be simple and not complicated.
I am quite new to Instructional Design subject and this is the first time I have attended the course in this format. I have thoroughly enjoyed the course and its content. I will be looking into taking more of such courses. Thanks ID Mentors.
A very good course for beginners as it provides the right amount of information with relevant content. It’s a very balanced course that does not stress you out and also gives you examples for reference.
Thank You @Purnima Valiathan, @ID Mentors
