Creating a course for my portfolio

Hi,

I'm looking to get into the field of e-learning. One of the things I would like to do is create a course for my portfolio so I can get some experience. My goal is to create an e-learning course about Artificial Intelligence directed to children. I already have a subject matter expert in AI that will help me with this. I will create the course first in English, then in another language.

I am wondering how to start something like this. I have questions like, which platform to use (Articulate vs. Rise), what age group I should focus on, how long should the course be, what kind of multimedia is appropriate, etc.

I'm also looking into how to plan the process of creating the course. Eventually I would like to be able to explain the process (either to the public or in interviews).

Hi Eninna! Thanks for posting your questions here! It sounds like you want to start building your e-learning portfolio and be ready to explain your process in future interviews. To go along with what Tom suggested, here are a few resources to help get you started:

I hope that helps! Can't wait to see what you create!

Hello Eninna, I like your idea very much.

Presenting what A.I. is to a child's mind is a perfect scenario to use creative visualization created by A.I. to present what A.I. is or can be within e-Learning Design.  For instance, using A.I. to generate images for your scenario to illustrate creative visualization for a child's mind.  Think of what Dr. Suess may have done with A.I. to generate new creatures in his imaginary land.  This kind of approach perhaps is good for adults as well, but children I believe have very strong imaginations to perhaps receive and understand what A.I. has to offer in this creative way.

Hope to see your e-Learning ideas in action!

Cheers!

  1. Choose a topic: Start by choosing a topic that you are passionate about and have expertise in. This could be anything from web development to photography to cooking. Make sure the topic is relevant to your portfolio and aligns with your professional goals.

  2. Define the course objectives: Once you have chosen a topic, define the objectives of your course. What do you want learners to achieve by taking your course? What skills or knowledge will they gain? Make sure the objectives are specific, measurable, and achievable.

  3. Develop the course content: Create the content for your course, including lessons, activities, and assessments. Consider using a variety of formats, such as videos, slideshows, and quizzes, to keep learners engaged. Make sure the content is organized, easy to follow, and aligned with the course objectives.

  4. Create a course outline: Once you have developed the content for your course, create an outline that summarizes the topics covered in each lesson, the activities and assessments included, and the overall structure of the course.

  5. Design the course: Design the course by choosing a platform or software to host your course, selecting a theme or template, and customizing the look and feel of the course. Make sure the design is visually appealing and user-friendly.

  6. Test and revise: Before publishing your course, test it to make sure it works properly and is free of errors. Get feedback from colleagues or friends, and revise the course as needed.
