I have the opportunity to choose a new position title for myself and I'm having trouble deciding between "E-Learning Manager" or "Learning Technologies Manager" or the great title you come up with.
I spend all of my time designing and developing e-learning courses and administering Moodle (LMS) so I thought e-learning or learning technologies would be appropriate to have in the title. What do you think?
Your very lucky to make this decision. Honestly, you have a great opportunity here. In being able to pick your own position title, I'd suggest how it will make you look/sound when it's on a resume. I think we’ve all been in position where our title didn’t really match what it is that we did/do. You never know what the future holds and you'll want to take advantage of every opportunity to make yourself look good!
I do similar work (eLearning stuff along with LMS administration)....my "formal" title is: Senior Staff Develop Program Specialist - Lead Worker....not very eloquent ...
So I call myself: "Project Manager - eLearning Design & Implementation." Although it's not my official title, other are able to better understand what it is that I actually do.
I find that if you are specific to e-learning, then you should use a title to reflect as such. But if you will be using other learning technologies such as Webex, Smartboads etc.....Then use the second one. This will only help solve any potential confusion.
