Who here has an e-learning portfolio?
Resumes don't offer a glimpse into your creativity, and most of the work we do is behind closed LMS doors. Having that portfolio and the ability to display what you are capable of is something you need. Even if you don't need a portfolio, it's a fun challenge, and something you can say you've accomplished.
Here is a link to my portfolio Ira Siegel I created based on a post I found by Trina Ghosh entitled "How to build your Portfolio Website using AWS: A Beginner’s Guide to building a website using Amazon S3 & Route53" which can be found here: How to build your Portfolio Website using AWS | by Trina Ghosh | Medium
Learning to create a portfolio was a very fulfilling task for me, I learned quite a bit and got to dust off a few skills I hadn't used in a while. There are free templates out there, cost is minimal (about $1 a month) so have no fear if you don't know HTML or CSS either! I think it took me more time to come up with a domain name I liked and what to put in the portfolio then to build the actual site. Plus, in doing it myself, I don't have to rely on or pay anyone to do updates.
I think Amazon still offers a year for free too, so there's no risk in giving it a shot using the steps outlined in Trina's article (I think there are videos out there now too).
Do it, have fun with it and good luck!!
