Build Your E-Learning Portfolio!

Build Your E-Learning Portfolio!

Ashley Chiasson, Sprout Elearning

Regardless of your job title, if you’re working within the field of E-Learning, particularly within a production capacity, you need an e-learning portfolio.

An e-learning portfolio will promote you as a developer, acting as a visual resume for your peer, colleagues, or prospective clients. This is especially important if you’re seeking a new profession or looking to add independent contracting or freelance development to your resume.

By the end of this course, you should be able to:

  • Identify the importance of an e-learning portfolio
  • Recognize common challenges related to building an e-learning portfolio, and how to overcome these challenges
  • Identify methods for building out and/or hosting your portfolio
  • Outline methods for promoting your portfolio

Building an e-learning portfolio doesn’t need to be an overwhelming task, and my goal is to walk you through the process of creating and sharing one e-learning sample that you can include in your portfolio. Don’t worry - We’ll do this together!

Designers For Learning

This project-based course focuses on a real-world instructional need. As a participant in this course, you will evaluate and adapt open educational resources for adult basic education. You will begin the evaluation process by dissecting the adult basic education design scenario to explore key aspects of the opportunity.

As part of the instructional evaluation, you will select an open educational resource that was designed and developed in a prior Designers for Learning cohort to evaluate the extent to which the instructional materials are effectively and efficiently designed and developed to meet the needs and constraints. Based on this evaluation, you will then adapt the materials you reviewed into a new lesson or revise the open educational resources to enhance the:

  • instructional strategies and assessments,
  • learner experience features, such as directions and help, aesthetics of display, lesson sequencing, and overall ease of use,
  • affective considerations, such as arousing curiosity, establishing relevance, offering appropriate level of challenge, and maintaining learner’s attention, and
  • display features, such as images, graphics, audio, animation, video, or print materials.
