Singular job titles comprise a composite of identities; no one is just one “thing.” How people self-identify not only has a direct effect on how they see themselves and how others see them, but it also drives the various ways they engage with colleagues and stakeholders to achieve common goals. To wit, to help faculty members and instructional designers productively exchange opinions and ideas during course design and development, it can be particularly useful if they consider themselves writers and editors, respectively.
This article, "Who ARE You? Faculty as Writer, Instructional Designer (ID) as Editor," from ASU’s Teach Online, operationally defines “writer” and “editor” for higher ed, and clearly demonstrates how the reciprocity between these two identities, when assumed by faculty and IDs, can benefit everyone involved, especially learners.
