Summary: I transitioned from multimedia production to managing instructional design teams. Now, with a discounted master’s in Education focusing on curriculum development available, I’m wondering if it will enhance my career prospects in instructional design.
Hey, that’s a really interesting direction you’re considering! I think an M.Ed. in Curriculum and Instruction could be a solid boost, especially if the program blends in the latest digital trends with classic educational theories. Since you’re already heading teams in instructional design, adding another layer of academic insight might just give you that competitive edge. I’m curious though – have you checked if the curriculum includes any hands-on tech projects or collaborative opportunities? Sometimes, those real-world applications in a program can make all the difference. What kind of skills or experiences are you hoping to pick up from the program, and how do you see them integrating with your current work? Would love to hear more about your thoughts on balancing the theory with the practical aspects. 
hey, in my opnion an m.ed. in curriculum could work pretty well if it mixes tech hands-on stuff with theory. check its course content tho, make sure it fits your design needs. not overhyped, but has potential if geared right.
