Hi there!
My name is Gail Tidey, and this is my !
The of this video is to present myself and to give you of who I am and what I do.
I used to teach French and Drama in a secondary school, but after 25 years of teaching, I decided it wasn’t enough, and because I felt I could do so many other things, I decided to develop the I had already and to take a .
So I work as for a company called My green training box. We free online courses about European culture, , organic agriculture and fair trade products. I suggest you have a look at what we do : just click on the link !

Now, you might what an instructional designer actually does ! Let me explain my job.
So, basically, a client, usually a , let’s say in bioclimatic habitat, has a problem and is going to need the skills of an instructional designer, that would be me.
The problem is, up to now, this particular trainer the lessons he had written, in front of learners, in a classroom, in a school or training company.
But because times are changing, particularly with the , digital learning is taking over in many training programs, and teachers have to and change the ways they used to work. For instance, the school might ask them to put their lessons . The thing is, they usually don’t know where to start.
They might have to the of their , the of the lessons and the results they expect to and .
This is why they need the help of an instructional designer, who is going to ask first many questions about the , in order to understand the of the learners and thus, of the teacher. The most important element is the objectives with the actual results you want to measure.

We both write a for the digital course, then the for each lesson, and I decide are going to need some digital resources to and make them . That’s going to need some time to create, the videos, so we plan another meeting a few weeks after that.
When the digital resources are ready, the last are made and the is ready to be on a .
Creating digital resources is a complicated business. You need to be many and , like After Effects developed by , and with and tools, like Premiere Pro. What I really like is when the digital creation the needs of the training course I design it for and when the teacher is satisfied.
In the years to come, I would like to and become a digital expert in this .
I hope I have you that digital instructional designer is… the perfect job !
