Eduflow is rapidly becoming one a best-in-class LMS, including a cutting edge peer grading system that both saves instructor time and provides learning opportunities for learners and graders alike.

Today's episode is a special one because we have an amazing guest who is going to be talking about two relevant topics in instructional design land. The first is Camtasia. It's the signature video editing tool that instructional designers use and that employers are looking for. We talk all about how to develop your skills with this tool and how to impress potential employers. Our second topic is voice acting. I have seen so many postings about voiceover work lately in the instructional design community and yet I know nothing about this. I didn't know how people got into this line of work or how they found the opportunities to showcase this skill. Luckily for us, Alex Mitts is an expert in both areas and he shares with us all of his tips. You'll hear about how a former teacher became an instructional designer and then got into voice acting work for Netflix. It's a crazy story and I know you are going to get a ton out of this episode.

“What does an instructional designer actually do?” A quick Google search will pop up some amazing videos, podcasts, and blogs about a day in the life of an instructional designer from a corporate perspective or a freelance perspective. I didn't see the same types of results though for higher education, and I have an educated guess as to why: it's ridiculously hard to describe the typical day.  In today's episode, I break down a day in the life of an instructional designer at MIT and share a few tips for new IDs thinking about the higher ed field.
