As a manager in the technology industry, I will use a combination of the theories. When training my individual team, I will need to use the Learning Theory to train my individual team members as they each learn differently. Some of my team prefers to read books and blog posts, while others prefer to watch a video. Still, others prefer to learn by actually writing code and experimenting.
Instructional Design is the creation of instructional programs used for the purpose of intentional learning. While learning is a process that occurs naturally, Instructional Design can be used to facilitate the learning, making it easier to reach bigger audiences, or learners with different needs.
In order for me to grow as an Instructional Designer, the biggest thing for me will be to learn and study the different theories. I have become familiar with some of the theories, but I need to get them more ingrained in my memory so that I can begin to develop my own style. I also need to continue studying the different learning styles of those who I am teaching.
