In this video, we’ll dive into the full eLearning design and development process that I’ve used to secure high-value client projects. And I’ve helped people in the bootcamp use this process to land some of the most competitive instructional design opportunities.
Much of the eLearning that you may have seen is designed more like an information-dump than an engaging, story-driven experience. This process will help you design immersive learning experiences that capture people’s attention and help them perform better on-the-job.
In addition to helping your audience, you can use this process to create a portfolio project that will help you stand out in the market.
The step-by-step eLearning design process is:
1. Identify the Need: Determine if there is an opportunity for improvement
2. Create an Action Map: Map out the actions you want people to practice.
3. Write the Storyboard: Create the text-based blueprint for your eLearning experience.
4. Design Visual Mockups: Design the visual layout for your eLearning experience.
5. Develop a prototype: Develop a prototype for your project.
6. Develop the Final Product: Complete the final product.
I’ll also discuss how you can add moments of delight and help enhance transfer for your audience.
Throughout the video, we’ll explore portfolio projects where people have used this eLearning design process effectively.

6 weeks into my first ID role, I just rewatched this video, that kicked off my journey from K-12 educator to ID. I can say that I followed all the steps Devlin suggests with great success. It was a lot of work including 5 am mornings practicing Storyline before work or listening to videos while running and it was all worth it. There is still content I have not touched to date (Adobe XD or Mayer's principles), however most everything Devlin refers to has come my way in the last 6 months. And now, having settled into my first ID job, I am reengaging with the channel to continue learning and feed my excitement about ID. Thanks Devlin, for all you do.
Thank you so much, Susann. Glad to hear that you were able to make the transition successfully. Congrats!! And I hope that the content will continue to provide value as you work in the field now :D
Hi Susann Schecker! Thank you for posting this comment, it is very inspiring. I am currently in education (elem. SPED) and the burnout is very real. I am so glad to read your comment. I am just starting to think about ID and making my action plan to take steps to learn and transition to a new career. Did you remain in education until you were offered a position? I will have to go corporate or government, as I carry my children on my insurance. Thanks! Amy
Hi Susann, thank you for your honesty. It's very inspiring to read, having come from the same background, just about to do the same thing!
@@a4somerville I agree with you. I'm on the same boat as well; currently working in education and I am ready to move forward into a new career path. I'm hoping to land a new job soon so I won't feel "trapped" to continuing yet another school year. I wish you luck!
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I'm in the process of transitioning into this career and your story resembles me; teaching all day, doing my graduate studies, having late nights with 3-4 hours of sleep, but still finding any available time I can to learn the needed skills and strategies to be successful. You're the proof and validation that my effort will hopefully pay off one day thank you!
Delvin thank you so much for sharing your content and advice to those learning! I seriously can't get enough of your work!
Devlin, thank you for this excellent video. It has taken me almost 20 years to figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life. I appreciate your openness and willingness to share your expertise with those of us making the pivot into Instruction Design.
Hi Jim! I'm glad to help. Best of luck with the transition :)
Hi Jim, it’s the same for me. It took a while to know what I want to do for the rest of my life. Happy for you !!
@@osun I'm happy for you both!
Same here! Mid-life transition. A bit overwhelming but these videos are wonderful. Thank you Devlin!
@@katebcoaching You're welcome! Happy to help :)
Thanks Devlin! This was an awesome watch. Grateful for creative and helpful people like you 🌹😄
Excellent video Devlin. Well structured, easy to follow, straight forward and tons of resources. Keep them coming
Thanks! I’m glad that you enjoyed it 😃. More content definitely on the way!
I come to ID in the same way I have come to most of my "topside gigs". I am a musician, playing many popular styles with a degree in Theory and Composition. Given the income variances in music, I have always had a foot in my day job. Starting as a grant writer (B.A. in Eng Lit- another great career move), I started doing client interface design for a software program on a grant that I wrote and was funded. Eventually, I became the program expert and wrote many training pieces in Adobe Captivate. I found the process very rewarding, but didn't know there was a field related to it. Then something came into my email of a job interest looking for an ID. After looking at what the company wanted, I knew that I could do the job, but my skills were dated and being self=taught, full of gaps. I can't tell you how much your video has impacted my world. Thank you, thank you, thank you. - Butch
Wow, thanks for sharing this story, Butch! And shoutout to a fellow English Lit major :D. I'm not sure how recently you found ID as a field, but you're probably in for quite the journey! And it sounds like your existing skills and past experience align really well with this profession. Please keep us updated on your journey :)
Love your simplified style of walking us new ID professionals through the important pieces to focus on. It is starting to solidify my understanding overall where to focus since there is so much to learn and so many resources. Always appreciate the info you share. Thank you.
Of course! Thanks for the positive feedback, as always.
I'm a Presentation Specialist and I think this is perfect for me to grow my career. Thanks a lot for sharing, man! Subscribed! Cheers!
Thank you for your time and dedication to educating others on how to enter this career. I truly appreciate it!
You've managed to answer a lot of questions that I've had rattling around my head around a move into this field, and in less than half an hour! Great video, succint advice, thank you very much!
Thanks so much, Edd! Best of luck on your journey, and feel free to explore the rest of the content on this channel. Hopefully it will help ease the transition :). And of course let me know if you have any questions along the way.
Thank you for making this inspiring intro. I just discovered ID as a potential career path and the way you're holding the door open is really amazing and appreciated. Looking forward to more vids!
You're welcome, Tiffany! Glad to hear that you're transitioning into instructional design. We look forward to supporting you along the way! More vids incoming :D
Great course Devlin. I appreciate your thorough overview of this career field. I learned a lot.
Thanks. I'm happy to hear it :)
Hi Devlin, thank you for this great video (and the others as well). I'm in the midst of a career change, coming from the Software Testing industry (after 20 years) and I feel that this field is truly my next career phase.
I find your videos so helpful and meaningful, they create so much focus and order for me in this transition process and I'm learning many important things, so I appreciate all the effort you're putting into these videos.
You’re welcome! I’m happy to help and am glad that the videos are pointing you in the right direction 😃
Thank you so much for sharing all this information on your channel. I am a teacher who has been looking to break into the ID field for some time, and your videos have inspired me to take the chance. Your concise and engaging way of presenting the material is very helpful!
Thanks Joanna :) You're in good company in this field, and there will be many people willing to help you make the transition. Best of luck!
Hi Devlin, thank you for making this video! It's amazing! I love the way you shared your experience in how to build up the skillset of becoming an instructional designer. Now I get more clear ideas of what to work on to polish my portfolio as an instructional designer! I am going to watch more of your previous videos!
Thanks so much, Jenny! I'm glad that you enjoyed it, and let me know if you have any questions as you explore the rest of the content :D
Thank you so much, Devlin! Your videos helped me prepare myself for my interview. I just received the news that I got the role! I'm very excited to transition from a product trainer to an instructional designer.
Thank you so much Devlin for this detailed video. Extremely helpful for someone just starting out. I am a Ph.D in Educational Technology and trying to venture into Instructional Designing. Your videos are coming really handy in understanding the field of ID.
I'm glad to hear it, Deepti. Thanks for watching, and good luck with your journey!
Thanks for all the tips and guidance on working in this field. I really appreciate this. I've landed my first instructional design job this past month. I got lucky because of my previous position, which was providing training to management staff using a new system. I think I really need to learn more on the theory side of things. I know the tech., but the theory and principles would definitely take me to another level. Not earning what you mentioned the average is for this position, but I'm still very thankful that I got my foot in the door. I know now what I need to do to get to that next level for sure. :) Thanks again!
Congratulations on landing the first ID role! That's the biggest step :D. It's only up from here, and I can hopefully continue helping along your journey.
Thank you so so much!!! This video is a treasure for me and I will follow your recommendations. I was like confused, didn’t know from where to start and suddenly it became clear !!! I think I am in a turning point of life and I feel exited so thank you again. 🙏💝
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching :)
Thank you! This is exactly what I needed as I am looking to pivot from teaching to LD. This helped me know the steps I need to make myself marketable and ready for this new adventure.
You’re welcome! Glad to hear that you’re transitioning into the field 😃. Let us know if you have any questions along the way.
Devlin, thanks for this information. I'm a classroom teacher and UA-camr who has spent a long time honing my craft of teaching Economics in the classroom and online. After over a decade teaching, I really want to make the transition into instructional design as I think this is where education is moving in the future. I'll be looking at more of your content as I prepare to make the move. Thank you again for this great intro to ID and I look forward to future productions!
Hi, you're welcome! Thanks for checking out the content. I am sure that you will be able to apply many of your skills in the instructional design space. We will be happy to have you here :D. Let me know if you have any questions along the way, and feel free to join us in the Slack community if you'd like some additional support: www.devlinpeck.com/id
Devlin, this is by far the best video I have seen on becoming an ID. Thank you so much for taking the time to create such a useful and informative video. I have lots to do know, but at least I have a clear direction thanks to you sir.
Thanks so much, Andrew! I'm glad that you enjoyed it :D. And we look forward to helping along the way.
Devlin, your videos are so informative & helpful. Thank you for your efforts.
You're so welcome! Thanks for checking out the videos :)
I've been teaching scuba diving, EMS, CPR, First Aid, AED for 13 years in my business. My primary career has been in the clinical medical field and I've worked from home for 5 years (pre-COVID WFH generation!) I can't believe it took so long to discover instructional design and the huuuuge need for it across all sectors. Coupled with CV-19 and how it was instrumental in the way content is now primarily delivered, this is a huge breakout opportunity.
I'm now starting my 2nd masters degree in ID next month and watching everything you've got which has been incredibly informative, really helped me to plan out my goals, next steps, etc. Your content is excellent. Thank you very much for providing so much (and for free!)
Oh my, your video is the perfect example of how a video should be! Thank you!
Haha thank you Cicero! I appreciate it :D
Thank you sooooooo much Devlin for all videos you shared with us, that helped me to become a full time permanent ID.
Yay!! Congratulations Faouzi :D. And you're very welcome for the videos :)
Great job Devlin, thanks for such an informative video. Also, helping those like myself enter into a rewarding field.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching 😃. And I’m happy to help.
Thank you for making this video. I've been teaching at the elementary level for over 20 years, but I am excited to learn about ID because I think this is a fantastic fit for my skill base. As I am just thinking about making this career shift, I appreciate your clearly articulated and outlined steps to follow to help me find my feet and the path to pursue this goal.
You’re very welcome! We’d love to see you in the ID field, and it sounds like you would be a good fit for the profession. Let us know if you have any other questions along the way, and feel free to download the become an ID checklist if you haven’t already 😃
Your are an absolute diamond mate!, I was hopeless and i wanted to become an elearning designer and this is the turning point!. very insightful
Amazing!! I'm happy to help and we're glad that you're diving into the field!
Thanks Devlin for such detailed overview insights on ID. This will definitely help.
You're welcome! Happy to help :D
While I have not landed a gig yet, I have followed this set of advice(since last Spring) along with tips from Tim Slade , Cath Ellis, and Ant Pugh and sure enough, I have had a few interviews, I have been invited to submit proposals for contract work, etc. Thank you Devlin for being so open and honest and sharing your time with all of us :)
I am very glad to hear it, Eric :) Keep it up!
I am so grateful for you and for discovering ID! ✨
Thank you for an extremely helpful video. It cuts through the clutter and will help me focus!
You’re welcome! Glad that it’s helping 😃
Hi Devlin, thanks so much for making this video. I know it's been ages since you posted it, but thought I'd say thanks anyway. :) Reading the comments below, I see how many other educators / teachers are transitioning into ID, which is encouraging. Thanks for great content, I'll keep coming to your channel.
You're welcome, Joanna! There's plenty of new content to help you, but most of this video still holds true :D. And feel free to join us in the community for more support (if you're not in there already): www.devlinpeck.com/id
Thanks Devlin for sharing with us. It had always been my ambition to pursue a career instructional design and technology. Thanks for giving me a reason to pursue my dreams.
Hi Sebastian, you're so welcome! Keep us updated on your journey :D
Thank you for sharing your expertise and giving people opportunity. This channel is a blessing to me,
You’re welcome! We’re glad that you found the channel 😃
Hi Devlin. I sometimes question myself about being an ID and this intro help put things into perspective. Thanks!
Glad to hear it :) Thanks for watching!
Hi Devlin,
I am a trainer with a computer science Masters. I recently started learning about- Instructional Design, as I want to make my career in it. Your channel is a one-stop learning source for me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise in such a lucid way.
Hi Pooja! You're very welcome. It sounds like you have a great background for instructional design & eLearning work. I am also glad that the content is helping :)
This is really helpful for an ID beginner, thank you very much!
I'm glad to hear it! You're welcome :)
50000000 stars. Absolutely loved this. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for the information, glad to be your 1,000th subscriber!
Yay! Thanks for subscribing :)
Very informative video. Im preparing my portfolio now for an application and I am just so glad and thankful I found your page.
That's wonderful! Thanks for checking out the video and good luck on your portfolio and the app :) Enjoy the rest of the content.
Thank you so much for creating these videos! I was unsure about where to begin in order to learn more about the world of instructional design. Your videos are very informative and encouraging for beginners.
You're so welcome, Sydney! I'm glad that this video helped :D. Thanks for supporting the channel.
Thank you for laying out very clearly what going into Instructional Design looks like. As a veteran educator looking to get a foot in the door it is greatly appreciated.
You’re welcome, Jeff! Keep us posted on your journey and we look forward to helping how we can.
This gave me a helpful kickoff as I start my upskilling process THANK YOU!
You’re very welcome! Keep us posted on your progress 😃
This is an astonishingly great video. I earned my M. Ed. in EdTech in the mid-90s, but although concepts haven't changes that much, the tech has. Thank you so much for taking the trouble to make and post this!
Glad that you enjoyed it, John!
Hi Devlin, I have been following your videos past few days only and I got a big picture of what n all I am supposed to do to be an ID. Thanks a lot for these videos.. really appreciate your time and efforts.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching :)
Thanks Devlin for a superb crash course. I am a teacher and looking my ways to transit in to Instruction Design role. I do design courses on my school's LMS and train teachers on the same too, I am not sure how to place that in to my resume and/or portfolio.
You're welcome! Thanks for checking it out. Screenshots and text work wonders for showing off your work :)
Just recently I learned about ID being a profession and as somebody who has done 5 years of Learning & Development/Trainer, I think it's a nice route to branch onto for the future. Being in front of audience can get tiresome after time whereas building the content allows for a more self-regulated pace... something I think will enjoy, especially coming from Arts & Design background myself. Thanks, Devlin for sharing all this info, I will be looking at the topic.
Yes, it definitely sound likes you would enjoy a career in instructional design. Your background and experience will serve you well, too. You’re welcome for the content and we look forward to helping you along the journey 😃
I love how you presented this. I'm a teacher currently working on my masters and I needed to take some ID courses and I loved being able to create story boards and other samples. I could see myself going towards this as a career.
Thanks Mia! It’s a wonderful career and teachers have many transferable skills. We would be happy to see you in this space 😃
Hi Mia, Could you tell me more about your Master's degree programme?
Thank you! High school teacher here, who is looking to move into ID. This was very helpful as to where I need to focus my time and energy.
Nice! Glad to hear that you’re getting into the space! Looking forward to helping you how we can.
Thank you so much! I am going to study in the US next year and really hope to be able to find a job there as an ID. Thank for the whole picture you provided us!
You’re welcome! We look forward to supporting you on your journey 😃
I am a teacher working on a graduate certificate to transition into Instructional Design. The information you have shared through your many videos have been very helpful. I feel more more knowledgeable on what to focus on in order to be a good candidate for a job (even without experience in the field). You have showed me that when we are public servants, we can always find the space to do so. You are much appreciated! Thank you for helping others like me.
You're welcome! I'm happy to help, and thanks for watching :)
Underrated my guy. Thanks for this video.
Thanks John! Happy to help.
I'm almost 60. I've been a professional working teacher for 30 years, but I've been teaching in one form or another since I was 16. I've also been on the other side as a student taking professional development courses online, so I (as do many others) have an understanding of both sides of the coin. I'm planning on making this my last year in the classroom. The students are great, but it's getting harder - especially with my commute. I've wanted to work from home for a few years while being able to continue to contribute to education. ID seems to be a perfect fit. I'm very grateful to you for making these materials available to give us a head start.
Hi John! It's nice to meet you, and the ID field would be happy to have you. I don't blame you for making this your last year in the classroom...but it sounds like you'll be much happier in the ID space. We look forward ot helping you with the transition! And feel free to join us in the community space to keep us updated: www.devlinpeck.com/id
@@DevlinPeckYT Appreciate the reply and encouragement. I've started watching your videos in order - starting with this one. I watched the first 3 so far. A lot of this is very familiar. I've joined Slack, but not a whole lot to say there yet.
Since we are getting updated/new materials this year, my idea is to use having to upgrade my courses as a way to practice using the methods/techniques in the videos and build a beginning portfolio. I'm also known in school as the one who finds new programs and hacks for doing things better. Tbh I just stumble across most of this stuff, but I have a few go to channels that I check regularly.
Seems like the timing for a switch to ID couldn't be better.
@@johnmulcahy389 It sounds like you're on a great path! Keep up the good work and we look forward to seeing what you accomplish in the field :D
Thanks for the video! I taught for four long years. I am applying for the IDD program at my college to start in the fall!
Thanks Devlin. You have reignited my desire to instruct.
You’re welcome! Glad to hear that 😃
Thank You Devlin, this was extremely useful ...
I am a newbie to ID though I have had some amazing jobs I have worked on. This is the best video about ID that I have ever watched. Now that I dont have lots of work at the moment, let me go back to the basics and implement these suggestions.
Thanks Dennis! Glad to hear that this video was helpful. There's a ton of other ID-related content on the channel that you may enjoy :D
Dear Devlin
I was indeed urging myself for this new grab of learning for me. Ur video had the the essential and the crux of what I need in a simple and flashy way. Thank u so much.🙂
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching :D
Thank you for this excellent video on how to become an Instructional Designer. It's clear and to the point.
You’re very welcome! Thanks so much for watching 😃
Dear Devlin, thank you for the videos. I was lost for long while trying to find something that aligns with my MSc in Education, kind of struggling to find work anywhere but this has given me purpose.
You're very welcome! We're glad that you found your way here, Sefanya, and we look forward to helping you along your journey.
Excellent! This gives me at least somewhere to start building this skillset. Like a lot of people have mentioned, this seems like a great, in-demand, creatively fulfilling career path and I'm looking forward to where this takes me!
Yes!! You are correct in your assessment. Looking forward to supporting you along your journey. And which field are you coming into this space from?
Devlin, your video helped me promote into an ID role with my current company. Thank you so much for the content and knowledge sharing!
Congratulations! I’m really glad I could help 😃
Happy I found your videos, I've been a teacher for almost 14 years, have a masters degree in linguistics but my salary has been the same for the past 8. I feel like this is a chance I need and will be watching every video past and present you have put out : )
Welcome to the channel! We look forward to helping you land an ID role and getting that pay bump 😃
@@DevlinPeckYT haha thank you and thanks for making these
Excellent video, very complete and helpful. Thank you very much!
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching :D
I should have watched this ahead of my interview. I apply many of these theories and strategies in my design, but given my lack of formal ID training, but education and many years teaching, I know them just not their names. I will add this to my prep list for the next one!
Very nice, Michelle! You will have these up your sleeve for next time :). And I hope the interview went well!
You're an incredible instructor and I've learned so much from you! I will direct anyone your way for all things ID.
Thank you so much! I’m glad that you’ve been enjoying the content 😃. And I really appreciate the support.
I love a list with bullet points and action items, thank you! I'm 2 months into self-teaching all about ID and eLearning. About 50% of my time spent on videos, podcasts, books, etc. is a combination of other field experts, authors, podcasters, etc and 50% is now by way of Devlin Peck. As I take notes, I mark a page or something I jot down "(DP)", so I can recall the source.
This was extremely helpful! Thank you for sharing with those of us who are shifting into this special arena of instructional design.
You’re welcome! Happy to help 😃
Thank you for the video! well done with valuable information! Looking forward to exploring more!
You’re welcome! Thanks for checking out the video 😃
Thanks so much! I am JUST now starting this transition from 23 years of teaching…which I am still doing…I have to eat so I cannot just resign :-)
I will be watching ALL of your videos!
Once again Thanks so much!
You’re welcome! And you’re going to do great 😃. Keep us posted and let me know if you have any questions along the way.
Great video Devlin! Thank you. I am currently a Teacher and want to change to ID. Your video has given me a great idea of what I have to do to make this happen, and I’m excited to get cracking on with it!
That’s wonderful! I’m happy to help, and we look forward to supporting you through the transition 😃
I’m so glad to find this video! I had no idea what to call ID but I knew I was interested in it. Former classroom teacher, currently working as faculty in higher ed. I’ve been challenging myself to make my online content more interactive. Now to figure out how to apply those skills into ID as a side gig and then maybe even full time? The flexible of working fully remote without a teaching load for more money is very tempting!
I’m glad that you found it, too! It does sound like ID is exactly what you’re going for. And yes, there are plenty of teachers who are tempted by the fully remote job, better work-life balance (by a lot), and higher salaries 😃. Instructional design is a great career for all of the above!
Excellent content Devlin! I am currently working on the list you have provided. I am transitioning from college teaching to ID; so excited about it!
Thank you for all your content!
Very nice! You're welcome, and we look forward to helping you with the transition.
@@DevlinPeckYT Hi Devlin, I'm a language teacher here in the Philippines and I was thinking if I need to collect certificates and trainings in instructional design before I can land a job with this niche? If so, do you know where to get courses on this niche? Thank you so much
Thanks for such a clear video! It is so helpful to know what software I need to be comfortable with and knowing where to start building my skills.
I'm currently a teacher and want to change career, I really think ID suits me and I want to spend the rest of this year retraining and gaining skills to be able to get into the field. It doesn't feel so overwhelming now I've seen this video!
Glad that you found your way here! You can definitely make the transition successfully if you work at it consistently between now and the end of the year. And we look forward to helping you how we can along the journey :D. Stay in touch!
@@DevlinPeckYT thanks!
I was an Instructional Designer in San Francisco back in 2000 when it was new and nobody knew what it was. Then there was 911 and the attendance of the school I was working for dropped, and they let most the designers go in order to save money, and ended up getting a plug and play platform (Prometheus then eCollege). The next year (2002) the designers were scaled back again and I was also laid off. Instead of seeking further employment in the field I decided to travel. Maybe not the best career move, but I had an interesting life as a result. Every now and then I'd apply for an instructional design job, but as there is more formal training now and I didn't have a degree in it, I was eliminated in the first or second round of interviews. Your video was my first good look at what it is going to require to get back in the game. The salary it seems, adjusting for inflation, hasn't changed much. Since I haven't paid off the loan for my initial Master's in education I'm not going to get a second Master's in it. Not at that salary level anyway. It was good to hear that you don't really have to. After Covid I think the field will grow, but I also think that with the plethora of tools available now a lot of people, schools, and companies are just going to do it alone without a team of Instructional Designers like back in the day. Maybe I'm wrong but either way I hope to get enough understanding of what is happening now to re-enter as an independent consultant and help schools and businesses with their online learning implementation or their RFP rather than as an Instructional Designer per se. But your video has given me a road map to follow to update my skill set and understanding of what it means now to be an Instructional Designer. So thanks.
Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us. It can never hurt to update your skills and get back in the game, even if many schools and businesses are trying their best with what they've got. Hopefully the rest of my content will help you along the way :)
Amazing Video!!! Gave me so much hope. I am a former (unemployed) graphic designer making a career shift.
I'm glad to hear it! You've got this :D
Thank you so much Dev for the video. So far I have been thinking and studying a lot about VAK and Kolb’s LS. I have certainly missed ADDIE, Gagne’s 9 events, Action mapping, Mayer’s principle and the visual design. Thanks again for the insight.
Hi Sindhu, you're welcome! Glad that you're enjoying the content :D
This was super useful and straightforward; thanks much.
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it 😃
Just got promoted to ID from being a trainer. I'm super excited to binge this channel and learn alot!
Congratulations!!! Feel free to drop a comment on any video if you have questions.
Thank you very much Devlin! I'm building my foundations by binging some of the theories thta you have! I'll drop some questions if I have one. Thank you!

I'm looking to transition from my teaching role into an eLearning/ ID role as I really like designeing the lessons and it is encouraging to me to find this video and discover that I'm a lot farther along than I thought. I was worried this was going to be a large mountain to climb whilst juggling a full time teaching job. This was a great video and your channel was a great find. Thank you so much.
You're so welcome, Jose. It's a lot of work, but teachers often have a lot of the bases already covered. The biggest gap for teachers Is usually on the tech side, so I'd suggest diving into Storyline when you get a chance :D

Helpful reply.
Could please guide as to what more can be done to be confident on the tech side .. ?
@@mamtachauhan3192 Sure! Get all the practice you can. That’s what helped for me. There are free workshops here on YT, but if you see other types of web interactions or eLearning, try recreating them in Storyline on your own 😃
@@DevlinPeckYT
Hmm.. okay..
Thank you for a spontaneous response. 🙂
@@mamtachauhan3192 you’re welcome!
