E-Learning Portfolios for 2024 RECAP #451: Challenge | Recap Are you looking for fresh, visually engaging ways to showcase your e-learning projects? Or perhaps you're looking to hire talented e-learning designers to help with your next project. Either way, we've got you covered with 30+ e-learning portfolio examples. From simple portfolios using E-Learning Heroes profile pages to custom-designed websites, this week's roundup features a range of creative ways to present your best e-learning work. Jonathan Hill Portfolio Tip: Share your E-Learning Heroes profile page to showcase examples of your work. Example | Jonathan Hill | Website | @DevByPowerPoint Jeniffer Brubaker Example | Jeniffer Brubaker Christine Vadovszki Portfolio Tip: Networking is so important! I think it's really important to talk to people, build relationships and connections as I often find these one-to-one interactions are what often land jobs rather than sending a resume or portfolio into the oblivion. Example | Christine Vadovszki Anel Albertao Example | Anel Albertao | Website Kari Edmonds Example | Kari Edmonds | Website Ayla Blacklaw Example | Ayla Blacklaw | Website Cherisse Lipps Example | Cherisse Lipps | Website Joanne Chen Example | Joanne Chen | Website Jodi M. Sansone Example | Jodi M. Sansone | Website | @jodimsansone Teo Karageorgakis Example | Teo Karageorgakis | Website Michael Schleicher Example | Michael Schleicher Alexander Salas Example | Alexander Salas | Website | @stylelearn Thaddaeus Smith Portfolio Tip: Portfolios are living documents and grow and change with the person they represent. As existing skills are sharpened, new skills are obtained, new technologies are incorporated, and new practices are implemented, the portfolio should be modified to reflect those changes. Example | Thaddaeus Smith | Website Ilona Winnemore Example | Ilona Winnemore | Website Samuel Apata Portfolio Tip: Before having a dedicated portfolio, I used to share my demos through the community page which is still a free and viable option. Example | ELH Portfolio | Samuel Apata | Website | @afrostem Thierry EMMANUEL Example | Thierry EMMANUEL | Website Michelle Susar Example | Michelle Susar Amar Kulshreshtha Portfolio Tip: I create articles on my LinkedIn profile Example | Amar Kulshreshtha | Website | @AmarShreshtha Julie BIGOT Example | Julie BIGOT | Website Laura Hansen Portfolio Tip: Set achievable and measurable goals for your own development. This year I have created a goal for myself to submit at least one E-Learning Heroes challenge a month and have two virtual networking calls a month. Example | Laura Hansen Silver Echo77 Portfolio Tip: Showcase a variety of projects that highlight different skills and strengths. It's all about demonstrating versatility! Silver Echo77 Missy Hovland Example | Missy Hovland Maria Munoz Portfolio Tip: Every day is a new opportunity to learn something new. Set realistic and achievable goals that will help you grow. Example | Maria Munoz Tracy Carroll Example | Learn more | Tracy Carroll | Website | @1tracycarroll Emma B Portfolio Tip: Curate! Don't put everything in there and ensure your portfolio really is a demonstration of your best work. Try to include a variety of examples and put in some good quality images / screenshots of your work. Focus on how you solved problems or tackled challenges, to achieve your end result. Also take a look at what other people are doing and learn from them. Don't put too much pressure on yourself to get it perfect and remember you can always change things as you, your skills and your style changes. Example | Emma B | Website Logan Monday Portfolio Tip: Keep showing your work and network with people that can support you as well as inspire you. Example | Logan Monday Wrenn Corcoran Example | Wrenn Corcoran Courtney Roberts Portfolio Tip: Have fun building your portfolio. Do what you like and what inspires YOU! Example | Courtney Roberts Kate Golomshtok Portfolio Tip: Learn how to be inspired by the world around you. Inspiration can come from a variety of sources: films, music, advertising, books, and many others. It’s important to see the ideas around you and use them to create interesting and helpful courses. Example | Kate Golomshtok | Website Anne-Marie Fiore Example | Anne-Marie Fiore | Website Jared Speight Portfolio Tip: Have a flagship project where you include design documents, discuss accessibility features, and show the results of your course/job aid if possible. Jared Speight Jayashree Ravi Networking Tip: Be genuine and proactive in building relationships. Connect with fellow professionals through online communities like LinkedIn, engage in meaningful conversations, and offer value. Authentic relationships can lead to collaborations and opportunities. Career Tip: Never stop learning. The digital learning landscape evolves rapidly. Stay curious, invest in continuous learning, and embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. Committing to lifelong learning sets you apart and fuels success in your career journey.

E-Learning Portfolio Examples RECAP #438: Challenge | Recap Discover more than 20 e-learning portfolio tips and examples from professional course designers. Richard Watson Include examples in your portfolio to attract your target audience. For example, my Client Shap Shots portfolio includes healthcare-related topics. Example 1 | Example 2 | Richard Watson | Website | @rwatsonID Bryana Bohl Find a hosting platform that is not too complicated and allows you to scale. Example | Bryana Bohl | Website Niyeda Suliveres-McDougal Using Rise 360 to host samples is so helpful with allowing me to avoid hosting a separate website. Example | Niyeda Suliveres-McDougal Arthur Korous Example 1 | Example 2 | Arthur Korous Allison Goldthorpe Tell the story behind the sample! At the end of the day, ok you've built a cool elearning interaction. But why? What problem does it solve? Example | Allison Goldthorpe | Website | @AGoldthorpeID Jodi M. Sansone Your resume is not your life story, it's a marketing document. Tailor your resume to the role you are pursuing. only put things on your resume that you like to do, otherwise you'll get considered for jobs you hate. So if you don't like to do elearning for systems implementations, don't put those accomplishments on your resume. Example | Jodi M. Sansone | Website | @jodimsansone Jonathan Hill I think there's definitely a place for some RADICAL CANDOR in our portfolios. Example| Jonathan Hill | Website | @DevByPowerPoint Leah Heinrich Example | Leah Heinrich Anita Kumar Just like we always consider our target audience when designing our learning solutions, we must consider our target audience when crafting our portfolio. The target audience comprises busy hiring managers. So don't drown them with details of your process. Make it succinct and visually appealing, so they quickly understand your process even if they're skimming through it. Example | Approach | Anita Kumar | Website Samuel Apata Sharing about yourself gives reference points that make you more accessible to others and my self-titled demo reflects that. While it might contain more personal information than I might share with an employer, I'm curious to discover if we have any identities in common. Example | Samuel Apata | Website | @afrostem Yvonne Leklou Update when you are between contracts or want to try something new. I hadn't been going to update my portfolio in quite a while. And when I finally did, I realized I needed to remove some very basic examples and a very long one. Short examples are great because most people looking at them don't have a lot of time. Also, add a brief explanation to each piece highlighting what you want the viewer to know. While it might be obvious to you, it might not be to the viewer. Example | Yvonne Leklou Wendy Mcmillian Example | Wendy Mcmillian Timothy Crowe & Kelly Fischer Example | Download | Kelly Fischer | Timothy Crowe Bonne Nagle Example 1 | Example 2 | Bonne Nagle | Website Aman Vohra Example | Aman Vohra | Website Laura Hansen Focus on results and tell the story, just like you would on a resume! Example | Laura Hansen Tom Haarman Example | Tom Haarman Sarah Scott Don't wait until you're looking for work to update your portfolio samples! When you come up with something you think deserves a showcase, add it. Example | Sarah Scott mat king Example | Learn more | mat king Kate Golomshtok Example | Kate Golomshtok | Website Ashi (Neha) Tandon Example | Ashi (Neha) Tandon | Website | @ashi_tandon New to the E-Learning Challenges?
