This week’s e-learning challenge<\/a> is a fun one that’s near and dear to my heart! Why? Well – Since building what small portfolio I have, my job prospects have increased exponentially (and therefore so has my profitability) and I’ve been able to become more selective with the projects and clients with whom I engage. Portfolios are also dear to me because my very first professional presentation (at the E-learning Heroes Community Roadshow: Toronto) was on how to build your portfolio.<\/p>\n

Portfolios are essential to any e-learning developer and you really shouldn’t sleep on building one out. Even if it’s sparse and not the most well put together portfolio, it’s a jumping off point, and you’ll be able to grow your portfolio and evolve its presentation as time goes on. Truth be told – My website and portfolio page will be undergoing an overhaul in the coming months, and I’m excited to share the new design just as soon as it’s complete!<\/p>\n

The Concept<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week, we’re being challenged to share our portfolios, create a header image for the E-Learning Heroes Challenge recap post, create social media images for Twitter\/Facebook\/Pinterest, and then share our portfolios through various social media postings – WHAT A DOOZIE! So many components!<\/p>\n

The Method<\/strong><\/p>\n

First things first, I grabbed the link to my portfolio page. Next, I opened a new document in Photoshop and created a header image for my section of the recap post. Then, I sought after the social media image dimensions from this site<\/a> and began creating appropriately size social media images. Finally, I went ahead and started sharing these posts all over the social media sphere (Twitter<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, Pinterest<\/a>)<\/p>\n
