In addition to the awards presentation, Dr. William Rothwell will present the findings from a recent research study in talent development. Through a collaborative partnership between ATD, Rothwell & Associates and IACET, the research team led by Dr. Rothwell implemented a study to investigate these questions: “Have the competencies of instructional design changed? Should they change? How has instructional design (ID) evolved over the past few decades?”
