What you will build

Complete one accessible portfolio entry and a one-minute spoken or written explanation. Include original work, a labeled contribution, feedback or self-review, a revision and sharing permissions.

No paid software, public posting, real outreach or sale is required. Use a private real situation or a clearly labeled fictional case.

How you will know you learned

Complete an observable piece of work, check your reasoning, and revise it using an original instructional rubric. Return to a new case after 14 days.

This is educational practice. No accredited certification or admissions, employment, income or wealth result is promised.

Read the exact introduction transcript

Welcome to Build an Evidence Portfolio. I’m Brian Kennedy Jr. Your education, work and entrepreneurship can produce evidence of what you can do. This course helps you make that evidence clear and truthful. We will choose one capability, identify a sample that supports it, ask for useful feedback and show how the work changed. You will also practice explaining your contribution without taking credit for someone else’s work or claiming results you did not measure. A practice project can count when it is labeled honestly. Your portfolio can remain private, and you can use text, audio or another accessible format. By the end, you will have one complete entry with an artifact, a revision and a clear explanation. Start with one audience you want to help understand your work. Then choose the capability you want that person to be able to see.
