Meet Your Instructor

Hi 👋 

I’m Dr. Luke Hobson. I'm a Senior Instructional Designer and Program Manager, a Lecturer, the author of What I Wish I Knew Before Becoming an Instructional Designer, and the Instructor for Instructional Design Institute. I’ve been named as one of the top learning influencers in 2022 and top e-learning experts in 2023. I started my career in higher education in 2013 and I've never left!

My passions are teaching, learning, and instructional design! My philosophy on learning comes from MIT, which is mens et manus or mind and hand. I believe in providing you with practical applications and helping you develop real tangible skills. I’ve been told that my superpower is being able to take complex ideas and translate them into simple takeaways for you to learn from. 

What I care about the most is creating meaningful and relevant learning experiences and providing every opportunity for my students.

On a personal note, I’m a husband, dog dad, musician, podcaster, and a health and fitness nut. 

I’m looking forward to meeting you!
