For this episode of IDIODC, Chris and Brent chat holiday season. It's gift giving season! And you're wondering what the heck to get for that instructional designer or eLearning developer in your life. Well, IDIODC has got you covered. This episode is all about the things we love to use in our professional work. We'll count down the top 10 hot gift ideas for learning professionals. If you're like me you'll use this list for the after holiday specials and buy a few items for yourself. And, in the spirit of being budget conscious, we're going to keep all items under $100USD. However, there may be a couple exceptions that will be well worth the added expense. And no, these aren't just the items you should send to Chris and Brent for the holidays. But you'll need to join us to find out why we chose each of them.
