Meeting Instructional Design
Today I met with Lei, the instructional designer for the library. As a designer he manages audio engineering, screen capturing programs, setting up tutorials online, producing videos for classes online, and teaches others how to connect to the Internet and to the programs he manages online. To do the videos as classes he works with Jan who gives him the script, all the writing part of the class, so that Lei can record it and put as a video online. He enjoys his job because he makes resources more available online, he can serve as a consultant for questions about the library or online sources, he's getting to do something he likes, he can express his creativity, and by the script that Jan gives him he can learn in the process of creating the video. You can actually see a video at http://www.med.yale.edu/library/education/guides/screencasts/finditfast/finditfast_1/ or by going to the Yale medical library website and go to Guides and Tutorials and click on any video there. Things that he feels could improve is to be able to learn as fast as new technology comes out and easier technology could be created that would allow for him to do his job in a shorter amount of time. For example, right now it takes Lei about 45 days to get a whole session of video classes done. With easier technology he could hopefully get the whole session done in less time.
