Too often, content rigor and sound learning principles are treated as barriers to business needs. Yet when accreditation or CE credit is a business priority, instructional designers can use those requirements to align organizational goals with learner needs. Accrediting bodies ensure professionals stay current in their field, requiring relevant content, academic rigor, and valid assessments. By framing these standards as a win-win, instructional designers can strengthen both learning effectiveness and business outcomes.

How do we accomplish this? This session will offer practical strategies for applying accreditation requirements to your design work and using them as a tool for more effective stakeholder conversations.

After this session, learners will be able to:

1. Research and interpret accreditation and CE requirements, including common themes you may find across many accrediting bodies.

2. Leverage accreditation requirements to further the conversations of strong pedagogical decisions when they otherwise might be sacrificed for other business priorities Instructional design often requires balancing competing priorities.
