13: Do I need to buy a new computer for ID work?
Feb 21, 2023

Do you need to buy a new computer to learn the programs for corporate instructional design work? The short answer: no! But you do need to ensure your computer has the appropriate specs to set you up for success when you’re first learning and beyond.

In this episode, I’m reviewing the computer requirements for corporate ID work. I’ll share what computer systems and specs you need while learning instructional design and eLearning development and what happens after you secure a job or contract. 

Top reasons to listen to the entire episode:

  • Learn which operating system is required for running the core corporate ID programs
  • Discover the ideal specs for both Windows and Mac computers, and if you need a laptop or a desktop
  • Understand what is provided (or not provided) to you as an employee, W-2 contractor, and 10-99 contractor
