In the unfortunate forward: Instructional project in the pits, nine well-known instructional designers share their experiences of failures. These designers give us valuable lessons and memories that help us change the way we think about our failures. If you learn to be proactive after making a mistake, you can lay the foundation for long-term success. Download a free copy today to get inspiration in real life and learn to be proactive when you fail. Our failures can help us grow in personal and professional life. If you have a great idea or solution that you would like to share with others, send a request to the editor, and our staff will work with you to share your solution with the eLearning community. Learning Solutions appreciates the input from community members. Large or small, we all agree that in most cases our false steps are involuntary, but they still happen.
