This workshop aims to help participants develop their personal brand through a series of exercises and assessments. It covers topics like defining personal branding, understanding one's authentic self, developing networking skills, and curating an online portfolio. The workshop is divided into sections that address key branding concepts and can be completed systematically or by focusing on specific skills. Participants will need a ring binder or electronic folder to compile their work and track their progress using embedded self-assessments throughout the workshop.
Provocations - Designing Experiences to Nurture Innovation and CreativityJames Tiffin Jr.
One goal of maker-centered classrooms is to have students make purposeful and imaginative creations. A more important goal is to develop the maker mindsets that help them to continually do so on their own - to become innovative if you will. The burden of coming up with project ideas needn't be the teacher's, but can instead be the students'. The teacher's responsibility becomes creating conditions in which children's innate imagination and curiosity can lead to creative and innovative outcomes. But this isn’t as straightforward as one might think. In fact, it is actually quite challenging, especially when you consider the material and tool options available (or not available) in schools. The workshop will share pedagogical practices that have been developed and used by veteran #MakerEd educators in their own classrooms, which span PS-12 settings. Participants will leave the session equipped with a framework that can help guide them via a more intentional planning approach to designing maker experiences. But this isn’t a sit-and-get course. Participants will make their way through a number of experiences designed using this framework to give them playful opportunities to explore new possibilities. Come ready to build, both physically and mentally!

Tips, Tools and Templates To Build Your Content Marketing StrategyMichael Brenner
Are you looking for help to develop your content marketing strategy? In this presentation delivered at Content Marketing World, I'm offering all the tips, tools and templates you need to go from wherever you are in your content marketing journey to being a world class content brand.
How To Plan And Build A Successful Content Marketing StrategyMichael Brenner
http://www.b2bmarketinginsider.com/content-marketing/plan-build-successful-content-marketing-strategy -- Did you know that every day on the internet:
There are 4.75 Billion pieces of content shared
There are 1.8 Billion photos uploaded
There are 700 Million Snapchats
There are 500 Million tweets
Marketing, as we know it, is being transformed right in front of our eyes. More and more messages are being promoted every day, on more channels, and as a result, consumers are learning to simply tune out the noise.
Because of this, brands must leverage content marketing to deliver the useful information necessary to educate and build trust with their audiences. But they often fail to document what they are trying to achieve, how they will get it done, and what measures will prove success.
Yesterday I presented to more than 600 attendees of the NewsCred #ThinkContent Webinar: "How To Plan And Build A Successful Content Marketing Strategy." I presented:
The key factors for content marketing success
The core components of a content marketing strategy
I answered the main questions of how to build a solid content marketing strategy
I shared my secret that effective content marketing was relatively simple:
"The buyer journey is nothing more than a series of questions that must be answered." ~ IDC
I shared the Content Marketing Institute's more formal definition of content marketing:
“Content marketing is the marketing and business process for creating and distributing relevant and valuable content to attract, acquire, and engage a clearly defined and understood target audience – with the objective of driving profitable customer action.” ~ Content Marketing Institute
And I shared the rallying cry for why we need to change:
"We have to stop interrupting what people are interested in, and be what people are interested in." ~ Craig Davis (former Chief Creative Office - J. Walter Thompson)
Backed by research and our own customer engagements, I covered
The 6 factors to content marketing success:
Document content strategy
Have someone in charge of content
Consistently publish quality content
Map content to buyer journey
Balance Paid, Owned, Earned Media
Track Content Marketing ROI
I provided an example and a template for anyone to develop:
Your Content Marketing Mission Statement
Become a destination for [target audience] interested in [topics]. To help them [customer value].
This will help us [your content marketing goals]
Earn your audience’s attention vs. just buying it
Reach, engage and convert NEW buyers
AmEx Open Forum Example: Help Small Businesses Do More Business. To become the largest source of inbound leads.
I provided spreadsheets to help anyone conduct a content audit and measure their content marketing results:
As marketers, we all have one thing in common - stock photos. So we put together a list of tips and resources that will help you choose the perfect photo, every time. For more from IMPACT, visit http://www.impactbnd.com
We spend more time working than doing anything else in life. Yet for too many people, the experience of work is demotivating and dehumanizing.
I don’t think it has to be this way, and I’m willing to bet you don’t either.
At Google, we’ve learned a ton about what makes for an enjoyable and productive workplace. We’re not alone – lots of other companies, ranging from grocers (e.g., Wegmans) to textile companies (e.g., the Brandix Group) to Brooklyn delis (e.g., Russ & Daughters), as well as academics and scientists, have learned the same simple truth: there are straightforward things we can do to make work better.
My new book, "Work Rules!", is an attempt to bring this together and offer you practical tools to improve work, no matter what you do. Check out this visual preview of the book and visit www.workrules.net if you’d like to pick up a copy or learn more!
How does one go about blogging? Or, why to even blog in the first place? In this talk, I have shared some of my key learning over last 15 years of blogging
What animates your sense of wonder and excitement? What moves you to action? How can you convey your personal passions in a professional way, and how can you weave your professional endeavors into your personal style? This session will discuss different avenues for developing your personal brand in a way that feels real and authentic. We’ll discuss tips on how to more effectively marshal social media and other online tools, including a website, to tell your story to the world. Our conversation together will cover ways to use platforms such as LinkedIn, Quora, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to joyfully, and with confidence, share the brand that you establish for yourself. || As presented during the 2015 Kaleidoscope event presented by the Sparrow Foundation and Women Working Wonders.

The document provides guidance on creating effective videos for change. It discusses evaluating resources and needs, identifying a story, creating a timeline, assigning roles, researching, developing a vision document, shooting interviews and footage, exporting and uploading the video, creating a distribution plan, publishing the video, and evaluating success. It then provides tips for video detectives to pay attention to voices, structure, audio/visual elements, style, ethical representation, and calls to action. Various types of effective videos are described such as origin stories, impact stories, vision videos, movement portraits, event stories, advocacy films, and campaign videos.

This document provides guidance on starting a business blog. It recommends blogging at least once per week to establish authority and engage readers. Sample topics include answering questions, conducting interviews, highlighting employees, and creating tutorial series. The document also stresses the importance of choosing an easy-to-use blogging platform like WordPress, selecting an appealing template, and publicizing the blog on social media, emails and business cards. Regular posting and evaluating metrics are presented as keys to success.
The document discusses the importance of self-reflection. Self-reflection involves looking inward and assessing oneself, which helps build self-awareness of one's strengths, weaknesses, values and factors that motivate them. It allows people to review their skills and find ways to improve. The document also provides sample questions people can ask themselves in different life areas to aid the self-reflection process, such as strengths, achievements, and goals. Conducting regular self-reflection can help people gain insight into who they are and stay relevant in a changing world.
This document summarizes an intern's project as the social media coordinator for a small fashion brand called Chloe Oliver. The intern conducted an analysis of Chloe Oliver's social media accounts and developed a strategy to increase engagement and followers across platforms like Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest. Over three months, the intern helped gain over 300 new Instagram followers and increased awareness of the brand. The intern also proposed continuing on as a part-time social media coordinator after the conclusion of the internship.
Creating a strong profile on LinkedIn is one of the most important things to get right.

These tips will help you stand out from the crowd and represent who you are what you’re interested in.
This document discusses developing a career brand through reflection on personal strengths and past successes. It defines a career brand as a combination of reputation and potential impact on employers. Readers are instructed to write down words describing themselves and draft a concise elevator pitch. The key takeaways are that developing a brand is an ongoing process, understanding one's own brand is important for the job search, and an elevator pitch should highlight relevant background and why an employer should hire them.
3 Personal Development Ideas To Greatly Enhance Your LifeMichael Lee
The personal development ideas in this article might seem a little unorthodox, and perhaps you might even wonder what they’ll do for you, but give it a chance and you might be surprised at how your life improves.
This document summarizes Scott Belsky's presentation on overcoming barriers to creativity. Some key points:
- Belsky is known for co-creating the online portfolio platform Behance to showcase design work.
- Many good ideas are abandoned due to inefficient creative habits and workflows. This can be addressed by scheduling distraction-free time, prioritizing action items, and ensuring meetings have clear outcomes.
- Projects should segment into action steps, potential ideas, and reference materials to stay organized and move ideas forward.
- Reducing "insecurity work" without clear goals can increase productivity. Testing ideas through structured feedback can help ideas succeed where initial excitement may have faded.

- Meetings should have clear action items, and those without should be emails or calls. Insecurity work that doesn't progress ideas should be delegated or eliminated.
- Most projects plateau when excitement declines and management pains increase. Belsky advises separating idea generation, organization, and critical review into different spaces.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

5. Common Challenges
Challenge 1: My work samples are
controlled goods/I’ve signed an air-tight
Non-Disclosure Agreement.
Challenge 2: But, I don’t have time to
create a portfolio…
Challenge 3: Where do I begin?!
Hello, Everyone! I’m Ashley Chiasson, an Instructional Designer and Consultant with about 7 years of professional experience. Today I’ll be talking about how to build your e-learning portfolio!
My hope is that by the end of this session, you’ll have some ideas and be inspired and motivated to work on your own e-learning portfolio.
I’m going to give you some ideas for how to build your portfolio, but first I have some questions for you!
By a show of hands, how many of you have an e-learning portfolio?
How many people are interested in eventually changing jobs, roles, or moving into a freelance or contracting role?
Have you ever been asked to share work samples and/or your portfolio?
Whether or not you could relate to these questions, portfolios are the cornerstone for every e-learning professional.
In my opinion, there are three main reasons why having a portfolio is important:
Your portfolio highlights your capabilities, specifically with visual technologies;
It can act as a visual resume; have you ever had a Subject Matter Expert review your Word storyboard and they just ‘can’t visualize’ it? You know that the next phase is developing the content and media assets, but the SME just can’t get past the storyboard phase…This problem is similar to the one prospective clients encounter when trying to visualize how you and your abilities could work for them and their needs;
It can lead to an increase in job offers. Once prospective clients can SEE what you’re capable of doing, their confidence in your abilities will increase, potentially leading to more job offers and money in the bank!
Once I began to build up my portfolio (which is still pretty sparse, to be honest), I saw a dramatic increase in the amount of prospective clients I had. The road to independent-contractorship is paved with a whole lot of hustlin’, and you will never stop playing the sales person. However, you will be able to reduce the amount of hustling you do, and will likely enjoy the luxury of being able to CHOOSE who you want to work with. Over the past year, I’ve been able to focus on working with clients I’m passionate about doing work with instead of scooping up anything and everything just to pay the bills.
That being said, I would consider investing time in building my portfolio to be a direct correlation with an increase in my quality of work life and overall job satisfaction, and this could be your reality too!
Freelancing isn’t always pretty. My first foray into freelancing held a goal of paying off my student debt. There was no focus aside from that.
I hopped on freelancer.ca, undercut myself BIG TIME, and took on some of the worst jobs ever. After paying off my student debt, I vowed off freelancing because “I was better than that.” Mind you, I took on jobs that weren’t always a good fit for my skillset, and which certainly didn’t engage me. I also hated feeling as though I wasn’t of value. After a year off, I began to think about how I could take my passion of Instructional Design and become a successful freelancer. This is when I became focused, realizing that freelancing didn’t have to be synonymous with not feeling valued. I could do what I loved doing, for clients who needed my expertise!
Shortly after realizing this, I began building my portfolio.
I understand that building your portfolio can be challenging.
Maybe you aren’t legally allowed to share your work samples
Maybe you just don’t have time
Maybe you don’t know where to begin
Before taking the leap into full-time independent contractor-ship, I knew that I needed some sort of portfolio. I had been freelancing part-time for several years, and was getting tired of the “can we see your portfolio?” question. At the time, I had a full-time job with clients predominantly in the Defense sector, and all of my coolest work samples were classified as controlled goods; I wasn’t able to share any of my professional work, and I felt defeated. I had worked for this organization for over five years and couldn’t take away any of my best work to use in a portfolio?!
After wallowing for a bit and eking out some downtime, I got serious and created my first two samples. The first was a tabbed interaction with hotspot popups designed to teach you how to bathe a cat. I’m a crazy cat lady, and when in doubt, go with what you know! I didn’t really know how to bathe a cat, but wikihow came to the rescue with some hilarious illustrations, and that simple tabbed interaction is still a hit with clients. The second was inspired by many of the small business books I had read; I wanted to share brief reviews, so I created a hotspot-based interaction that linked to brief book reviews contained within scrolling panels. Both of these samples were very basic in terms of technological prowess, were created in Articulate Storyline, and were the launching pad for my portfolio.
Moral of the story: When feeling defeated, challenge yourself to be creative!
The last time I discussed e-learning portfolios, I had a lot of participants ask about sharing work that isn’t legally allowed to be shared, and what I recommend to individuals experiencing a similar problem is to sanitize that sample!
As you can see in the example provided, sanitizing a work sample doesn’t need to be a huge undertaking. In this case, I removed the logo, changed the background, and changed the colour palette. The content for this organization is readily available online, so it’s not considered controlled goods; therefore, I was able to keep all of the existing textual content. For those of you who are restricted by branding AND textual content, I would suggest removing all branding and replace textual content with dummy text, and tada! You’ve sanitized your work sample!
Building your portfolio really doesn’t need to be a challenge. You just need to find some motivation and summon your creativity.
For me, the Articulate E-Learning Heroes Challenges were huge when it came to kickstarting my motivation. Half the battle is your own imagination, so the challenges were great. Each week, there would be a new challenge and prompt for submission, and each week, I would be blown away by the entries.
The E-Learning Heroes Community is a supportive environment, and comments tend to be positive or constructive in nature. The weekly challenges are a great way to see what your peers are capable of doing and get ideas for how you can apply similar approaches in your future projects.
My portfolio has grown considerably since I began participating in the weekly e-learning challenges, and the greatest praise I have for the weekly challenge is just that; it challenges me to think outside of the box and create interactions I may not have previously considered creating!
A few examples of other places to get inspired:
Digital Magazines
Templates
Video Games
Design Websites
Make something your muse, and run with it! For example, one of the ELH Challenges was to create your own digital magazine template. These creations were inspired by existing digital magazines and they elements they consist of, and with a little imagination, I was able to bring together my own digital magazine, The Meadows.
Fear will only hold you back, and you really need to just let it go. What do you have to lose? If you would have told me three years ago that I would be standing here speaking in front of a large audience, many individuals here of whom I respect and idolize…I would have told you that you were out of your damn mind. I was the kid in university who would take zeros when an oral presentation was required, but I’m slowly conquering that fear.
When I first started building my portfolio and participating in challenges, I was TERRIFIED to share my work. In an industry with so many talented people, what authority was I to subject folks to looking at my work?! But once I began to let go of that fear, I was able to share my work, grow my portfolio, and grow as an e-learning professional.
Without being able to let go of fear, I would never have previously considered sharing silly interactions and glimpses into my ridiculous mind. Case in point – Artie. Artie and his story of single-parenthood was conjured up in my mind, and I spent hours labouring over a meticulous budget and gift giving game for him. At times I felt like I was losing my mind, but the finished product made people laugh and it was very well-received. Your harshest critic will always be you, and we all just need to get over ourselves if we want to be successful industry professionals!
For some, building out your portfolio may seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t need to be difficult!
You can post samples to dribbble, dropbox, or google drive. I love sharing knowledge with others, so I incorporated my portfolio into my blog; occasionally I do show my work posts, and I have a portfolio section of my website that contains a simple WordPress plugin. It’s important to invest in yourself, so if you don’t have the time or expertise to easily add portfolio pieces to your website, pay someone who does have the expertise. For example, I spent about 5 hours of my time trying to figure out a WordPress plugin and finally conceeded to paying someone to do it for me…it took them half an hour, and only cost 30 dollars.
My current portfolio isn’t fancy, but it does exactly what I need it to do. Clients don’t want to view 500 full courses before deciding they like your work, but they do need to see some representation of your capabilities within the world of e-learning. Every client is different, so it’s important to consider a varied approach to your portfolio. What I mean by this is to include a representative sample of portfolio pieces – several work samples, several personal samples, perhaps some design samples if that’s something you’re good at. They need to believe, from your portfolio or discussions with you, that you are the right person for the job!
Once you have your portfolio built, promote yourself!
I wrote a book! Articulate Storyline Essentials. I really wanted to bring it to Learning Solutions with me, but we got a ton of snow the day the delivery was expected, and it wasn’t delivered until after I had arrived in Florida.
You can check it out on Packt Publishing’s website or on Amazon.com, and I’ll be doing a giveaway soon on my website: ashleychiasson.com
Hopefully you now have more clarity as to why an e-learning portfolio is so important and how you can easily create one – remember, your portfolio can provide you with the freedom to choose work you’re most passionate about, so make some time, and show yourself off!
