Welcome to Episode 31 of the Designing with Love podcast! In this episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Caroline Amberson, an educator who is currently completing the Master of Science in Instructional Design program at Grand Canyon University (GCU).
What happens when a veteran educator with decades of classroom experience decides to formalize their instructional design skills? In this enlightening conversation, Caroline opens up about her journey balancing over 22 years of elementary teaching with a master's program in instructional design at GCU.
