Practitioner Perspectives on the Benefits of a Cross-Organizational Collaboration Between AECT and NATO
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Collaboration is widely known to be beneficial in the workplace, with many job announcement analyses confirming it as a desired skill (Klein and Kelly, 2018; Lowenthal et al., 2010; Wakefield et al., 2012; Wang et al., 2021). During the COVID-19 pandemic, practitioners found new opportunities to collaborate with colleagues across industries. One such collaboration allowed instructional design practitioners in higher education to work with staff from a military organization on the design and development of content for a microlearning mobile app called NeNA. This paper will explore the benefits of cross-organizational collaboration and co-design on instructional design projects, such as better design, improved communication, and increased effectiveness, using the NeNA project as an example.
