Who here has an e-learning portfolio?
I'd love to have one, but unless you work independently and have legal contracts in place, and only produce examples using your own private license, all content you produce remains the IP of the company you are working for, and as such, remains their property. Unless you get specific permission, you could be in a LOT of legal trouble because technically you're stealing their IP.
The other issue is how to get it from the company server to your own computer. I've developed some great content over the years, but because the SL360 file is so large, I can't email it to myself. Given that I've produced content for very large companies (ie international), their cybersecurity is very strict, which means I would not be able to email myself large files nor would I be able to use USB thumb drives.
However, I've managed to send myself the odd smaller ones in a sly manner.
Does anyone know of any free sites we could upload examples of our work so that we could send potential employers to ?
I understand. Most of my portfolio is content I developed for my own projects. I've submitted two of the lessons to the Open Educational Resources archive under a CC license.
Doug1234 I hear you here on the IP point. I am not a lawyer so take this with a grain of salt, but in the past I've seen people get around this by creating anonymized versions of their work vs. the actual work product they produced for a client or employer.
In terms of free places to share examples, I've seen people do really lightweight portfolios using tools like Notion and just linking or sharing screenshots or recordings of work in places like that. I've even seen people use a Google folder! Doesn't have to be fancy to work 😁
