There’s quite a bit of buzz about instructional technology certifications these days, and it is a good thing to be aware of your own process. This certification is a good opportunity to show that you’re able to perform manual tasks (like writing or programming) and you know how to get the job done.
I’m just a little off-base about this one, though, so I can see why we didn’t do it. I’ve done a lot of research into what’s going on at our site and been pretty interested in what it does.
It’s a little bit of a double-edged sword. I think the main reason wentalled it was because our certification is a very manual process. You can do it easily on your own using your own computer and software, but it’s very time consuming. And it’s a good opportunity for us to show people how we do things.
The job done, our certification is a fantastic idea. But I think it takes a lot of time and effort to get people to use our site. We have a lot of things that we do manually that no one has ever done before. We don’t have a site designer who wants to teach us how to do them or to come up with a site theme. And I think that is what makes it hard to get people to use our site.
Sure, that can be a problem. But what is also a problem is that there’s a lot of great content on our site. If we could just add that to our site, we’d be golden. But we don’t have the ability to do that. We’d need a few things to become a success, which really is an issue.
The answer is to think about how you want people to be using your site. I know this is hard to do when all you have is a handful of words and a small graphic. But I think you need to have a vision of what you want to accomplish and then work to get it accomplished. If I want people to learn things, I need to be able to explain how I can make that happen.
We actually did this for a few years before we found out how much we actually needed help with training. We figured we would eventually have to hire a professional. What we didn’t realize is that we couldn’t even hire a single certified trainer. We couldn’t even find a single certified instructor. But we still managed to grow.
What we have now is a truly amazing and unique technology that enables people to live a life of their own and learn from what they do. It’s not just a new generation of training machines, it’s what you get when you’re out and about and get a little bit.
For those of you who are not familiar with the concept, there are two different kinds of certification programs: those that are designed to certify people for specific jobs and those that are designed to certify people for specific skills. The former is for people who wish to earn their living from their own knowledge and ingenuity, while the latter is for people who wish to be able to master the specific skills that they are seeking.
The difference between the two is that the former tend to focus on practical skills like driving a boat or building a small electrical motor, while the latter tend to focus on theoretical knowledge. Some people might choose to become programmers because they want to make their own inventions, while others might choose to become programmers because they want to program in a specific area of technology.
