    Lots of inspiring portfolios here.

    Here's a link to my portfolio:
    https://elearningchalk.com/online-portfolio/
    And here's a link to my approach:
    https://elearningchalk.com/my-approach/

    While I do explain my process for each sample, I find people tend to skim through it if it's too long. So I have a separate link where I explain my overall approach to creating instructional design material.

    My tip for newbies: Just like we always consider our target audience when designing our learning solutions, we must consider our target audience when crafting our portfolio. The target audience comprises busy hiring managers. So don't drown them with details of your process. Make it succinct and visually appealing, so they quickly understand your process even if they're skimming through it.
  • Hello!

    This demo is inspired by my recent trip to the Omega Mart interactive art exhibition in Las Vegas, which featured loads of parody products, easter eggs and weird details. I heartily recommend it!

    This is also another go at 'graphic dividers' in Rise.

    I think there's definitely a place for some RADICAL CANDOR in our portfolios.

    Also wanted thank David and the team again for the award they presented to me at the Articulate User Con earlier this week. Was a totally unexpected and a lovely start to DevLearn, and the highlight of my week.

    Demo: https://jodisdemos.s3.amazonaws.com/438+Interactive+Resume/story.html

    Here's an interactive "resume" for a creative agency team. It could be an approach for an individual if you want to show a creative, quirky side. It has audio so be ready to adjust if you find it distracting.

    My advice on resumes comes from a mentor whose words I recall every time I have to present my credentials: Your resume is not your life story, it's a marketing document. Tailor your resume to the role you are pursuing. This same mentor also suggested to only put things on your resume that you like to do, otherwise you'll get considered for jobs you hate. So if you don't like to do elearning for systems implementations, don't put those accomplishments on your resume.

    This is my portfolio: https://allisongoldthorpe.com/portfolio/ (which allows you to filter by sample type)

    My biggest tip to newbies: tell the story behind the sample! At the end of the day, ok you've built a cool elearning interaction. But why?? What problem does it solve?

      I like your Storyline interaction! The stars concept is a nice touch. I'm curious to how you did the .wav form with your call clip. Did you make that in After Effects?

        Hi Arthur,

        Thank you for viewing my flagship project! The soundwave animation seen throughout is a custom video (MP4 file) I created on www.veed.io using an AI audio file I created with lovo.ai voice generator.

      Thank you for sharing your portfolio. I really like the carousel of recommendations and the way you have grouped your samples.
