Welcome to the very first premium member edition of the Instructional Design Tips Substack.

This fortnightly series is just for those of you kind enough to support my work with a paid membership. It’s all about giving you a little extra value as my way of saying thank you.

With that in mind, I would love to know in the comments what you want to see in future premium member editions. It could be:

  • Questions you want to explore

  • Topics you would like me to research

  • Questions of practical application that you’d like my take on

  • Or just about anything else.

I want to make these premium member editions as useful as possible to you. So please do jump into the comments and let me know what you want to see in future editions.

With all that said, let’s dive into this fortnight’s premium member edition.


In this edition:

  1. Is whole-brain thinking scientifically sound?

  2. Three ways to win over line managers

  3. Quick definitions: Behaviourism
