Learning is creation, not consumption

Most importantly, good instructional design is about transferring new knowledge and skills to the job (or to life) in a way that feels both natural and exciting.

The same skills that contribute to successful instructional design transfer fluidly to organizing information for websites. Both require user-centered approaches and finding the balance between what the business and the users need.
