Instructional Design PDN—Speaking the Same Language: Effective Communication Between SMEs and IDs 

Subject matter expert (SME) relationships directly impact the success of your learning projects. What SMEs have become roadblocks rather than guides?  Which ones have made the most effective collaborators?  In this interactive in-person session, we will walk through the SME life cycle and how you, as the ID, can influence (and navigate) the process. You will discover practical strategies that will help you turn experts who assume "learners should already know this" into collaborative partners.
