Over the weekend I got a really cool testimonial on one of my 31 live Pluralsight courses. First I’ll share the testimonial, and then I’ll comment on why this was special. Maurie wrote:
“I just completed Jason Alba’s course “Building and Managing Your Career Plan“. It is excellent. The content is EXACTLY on point. The presentation is very professional–no endless stream of bullet points that Jason just reads, Relevant icons that reinforce the message. Sparkling examples delivered as a multitude of very short real-life situations, and a call to action for each module. I am an instructional designer by profession, Jason has hit the target dead center in all the things that make this kind of presentation useful, memorable, informative and fun from the perspective of effective and efficient instructional design. This course is at least 7 or 8 stars in the five-point scale.”
Wow, that was cool! Thank you Maurie, for a well-written testimonial! Here’s what I love:
“I am an instructional designer by profession,” says Maurie. Well, I am not. In fact, it wasn’t until last year that I spent significant time with a professional designer. But for a professional instructional designer to give that compliment to anyone is really cool.
When I create my courses, I feel like my job is to not think about any future courses, but to do the very best I can on each course. Leave it all on the field, as they say. I give everything I have to the current course, with design, language, etc. Thank you, Maurie, for recognizing that.
“The content is EXACTLY on point.” Thank you, again. This course is based on principles of career management. The first module is about defining and visualizing where you want to be (what’s your ideal title/role?). The second module is a methodological approach to working yourself towards that title/role. The third module talks about career satisfaction. This course is foundational to career management and enjoying the journey you are on. I was super excited to create this course because I’ve learned that YOU need to manage your career, and this is a course to get you focusing on bettering your career.
“This course is at least 7 or 8 stars in the five-point scale.” Flattering. The current course rating is somewhere around 4.5 (I don’t know if that is rounded up or down), but thank you, Maurie. I’ll take a 7 or 8 🙂
