If you lose your job, you could be flushing a lot of your work down the drain.  One day you’re happy at work and the next you’re out on the street with no access to your projects or the tools used to build them.  For these reasons, it’s important to maintain a portfolio.

Instructional design: Do you have examples of different approaches to learning and course design

Graphic design: While everyone talks about instructional design, I think an equal consideration is the visual design.

Present diverse projects: Don’t show me 400 courses that all look the same.  If that’s all you get to work on, then spend some time on your own and build out other examples.  They don’t need to be complete courses.  Build out an interaction or a scenario.  Take one topic and try it three different ways.

Writing:

How well can you write to document procedures and provide the right level of guidance?  On the other hand, some projects are not technical and require a more conversational tone.  As Cathy Moore would ask, “Can you dump the drone?”

  • Build a case study for each project.  It doesn’t need to be overly fancy.  Describe the project objectives, what you did, and the results. If you have examples add them.  If not, at least try to add some screenshots. 
  • Create a blog to document your learning.  Use it to capture what you’re doing and thoughts you have during the production process.  If you need ideas to get started, look at some of the demos in this blog.  Take one of the ideas and play around with it. 
  • Network with others.  A portfolio’s no good if you have no place to show it(your blog) or share it (your network)
