Dennis OConnorThis article is written for instructional designers. At the same time there is much that applies directly to online teaching. At the end of the E-Learning for Educators class you are asked to start an e-portfolio project that will follow you through all of the courses of the Certificate program. This article will help you understand why we ask you to create an e-portfolio as a career building tool.
-
Opportunities exist. However, when you’re not prepared, you don’t bother looking; and if you do look, you don’t always know what to look for.
-
n addition, because you maintain a portfolio of your skills, you’re more apt to think about the skills you need for the portfolio. It then becomes a motivator to learn more.
-
Too many people told me that they couldn’t share what they were working on. This makes sense for the organization, but not for you. Don’t allow their content to make your skills proprietary, as well. In the same sense, don’t let their lower expectations define your skills.
-
If you lose your job, you could be flushing a lot of your work down the drain. One day you’re happy at work and the next you’re out on the street with no access to your projects or the tools used to build them. For these reasons, it’s important to maintain a portfolio.
-
Do you have examples of different approaches to learning and course design.
-
If all things are equal, I’ll take someone with a strong sense of visual design because it crosses into other areas like engagement, communication, and usability.
-
Don’t show me 400 courses that all look the same.
-
They don’t need to be complete courses.
-
So for me there’s two types of writing: technical and conversational.
-
You don’t need to be a software engineer, but you should know the essence of the technologies and how they work.
-
Build a case study for each project. It doesn’t need to be overly fancy. Describe the project objectives, what you did, and the results. If you have examples add them. If not, at least try to add some screenshots.
-
Create a blog to document your learning.
-
Network with others. A portfolio’s no good if you have no place to show it(your blog) or share it (your network). The good thing with blogging and other social tools like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter is that you connect with others in the industry. You’ll learn a lot and others will get to know you and your skills. It’s a great way to prepare for opportunities. Just ask Cammy.

Stella PortoA few weeks ago I announced a job opening. I got about 1000 inquiries and ended up looking at over 200 portfolios. I could have looked at more but I got a lot of emails from people who didn’t have portfolios. They tended to fall into one of two camps. They either didn’t have a portfolio or the projects they worked on were proprietary so they couldn’t share them.
I know that many of you are in the same boat. And based on the tons of emails I get about finding work in this industry, I’d like to share some thoughts about why you need a portfolio and how it can help you get better at elearning.e-portfolios portfolio career elearning eportfolio E-portfolio e-learning OMDE670

Instructional design: Do you have examples of different approaches to learning and course design
-
Graphic design: While everyone talks about instructional design, I think an equal consideration is the visual design.
-
Present diverse projects: Don’t show me 400 courses that all look the same. If that’s all you get to work on, then spend some time on your own and build out other examples. They don’t need to be complete courses. Build out an interaction or a scenario. Take one topic and try it three different ways.
-
Project management:
-
you should understand how to manage a project from start to finish.
-
Writing:
-
How well can you write to document procedures and provide the right level of guidance? On the other hand, some projects are not technical and require a more conversational tone. As Cathy Moore would ask, “Can you dump the drone?”
-
- Build a case study for each project. It doesn’t need to be overly fancy. Describe the project objectives, what you did, and the results. If you have examples add them. If not, at least try to add some screenshots.
- Create a blog to document your learning. Use it to capture what you’re doing and thoughts you have during the production process. If you need ideas to get started, look at some of the demos in this blog. Take one of the ideas and play around with it.
- Network with others. A portfolio’s no good if you have no place to show it(your blog) or share it (your network)

Ruth HowardMany elearning developers face two common problems. All the work you do is proprietary so you can't share it with outsiders. Or the organization's expectations are lower than your skills.\n\nToo many people told me that they couldn't share what they were working on. This makes sense for the organization, but not for you. Don't allow their content to make your skills proprietary, as well. In the same sense, don't let their lower expectations define your skills.
