How to Make a Process Write-up for your Portfolio

Are you looking for a way to highlight your instructional design skills in your portfolio?

One simple way to demonstrate your knowledge of instructional design tasks and problem solving is through a process write-up.

This can answer questions that hiring managers may ask and clear up any confusion surrounding your specific role in the project, all before even walking into an interview.

Let’s break down everything you need in your process write-up to complete your portfolio and start attracting clients.
