Kryssia Kipp interviewed me as part of the Coffee with Genially series of “meaningful dialogues.” We spoke about instructional design, engagement, scenario-based learning, and authoring tools. I also shared some advice for people just getting started in the instructional design field.

- How did your journey into the instructional design sector begin?
- In your opinion, how can you increase learning impact through scenario-based learning?
- When is the best time to utilize Branching Scenarios?
- How do you measure the success of your learning solutions?
- How do you incorporate learner engagement and interactivity into your instructional design?
- What are your thoughts on authoring tools, and how would you choose one?

- What advice would you give to our community of instructional designers who are just starting out or transitioning?
