Authorship

Hi Leslie,

That's a great question, and possibly one without a single right answer for all situations.

More often than not I've not included my name and/or title in the e-learning projects I've worked on. And most of the projects I've seen from others also don't include that information unless it's a promotional project. That said, I have on occasion seen credits at the end of a course that mention the instructional designer/e-learning developer, so it's not necessarily wrong to do.

If you're looking at creating a credits screen for the project that mentions the other contributors, then it makes sense to include yourself on it too. And if you're not sure if you'd like to add a credits section or not, your academic institution may have some recommendations. Also, much like Robert mentioned asking if his freelancing clients were okay with a credits screen, you could always do the same with the faculty or subject matter experts you're working with.
