Area 8—Technical Skills

Hello, Participants! This is the final competency area for eLearning Developers. Having said that, we’ll review the results for all eight areas a couple of times before we finalize the list. But for now, please consider the following question:

What Technical tasks do eLearning Developers do?

This is a tricky question because the first impulse is to think about all the software devs use. But please try to frame responses as the actual technical tasks performed by eLearning devs, rather than the knowledge they require.

Please post answers by Wednesday, February 06.
