The portfolio problem
Why building an instructional design portfolio is harder than it should be.
Enterprise tools require annual contracts
Articulate 360 costs $1,449/year with a mandatory annual commitment. When you're job hunting, that's a huge risk.
Your best work is locked behind NDAs
The courses you built at work? You can't show them. Prospective employers see nothing.
PowerPoints don't impress anymore
Hiring managers want to see modern, interactive eLearning, not static slides.
You need samples for multiple industries
Showing range matters. But creating branded samples for different sectors takes time without the right tools.
