Conference Context
Speaking at the IDTX Conference was a personal goal for that year — an opportunity to step beyond delivery work and contribute to the wider conversation around instructional design practice.
The session explored how project management skills support instructional design work, particularly when balancing organisational constraints, stakeholder expectations, and learner experience.
Featured Talk
The talk draws on practical experience from instructional design projects, highlighting how project management thinking can support clearer decision-making, stronger collaboration, and more effective learning outcomes.
Rather than focusing only on theory, the session explored real project scenarios and the practical design decisions that shape learning experiences within organisational environments.
Preparing the Talk
Preparing the presentation involved distilling practical project experience into clear design principles that could resonate with a practitioner audience.
This required translating day-to-day project decisions into insights that instructional designers could apply in their own work — bridging the gap between theory and real organisational practice.
This talk reflects my ability to translate practical project experience into clear design insights and contribute to the wider learning design community.
