Creating a course for my portfolio

I'd take a step back and start with some simple modules first. The weekly challenges are perfect for portfolio pieces without having to build and present a larger course. Plus you can see what approach others have taken and get some ideas. This also gives you some fluency with the tools.

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:

• Why & How to Participate in the Weekly Challenges on E-Learning Heroes - The E-Learning Challenges is one of the best ways to improve your skills and build your portfolio.
• Rise 360 or Storyline 360: Which One Should You Use for Your Project? - You mentioned not knowing which app to use. This article helps you understand the kinds of projects that are best suited for each app.
• Getting Started with E-Learning - You said you want to be able to explain the process. This series will walk you through what it takes to build courses that engage learners. 

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.

I agree with everyone who has recommended the weekly challenges as the best starting point.

They'll help you get to grips with the software and will expose you to topics that you may otherwise have missed. 

The feedback from the Articulate community is really useful too.
