Yesterday, while deeply engrossed in crafting a cutting-edge course for a client, I decided to take a brief respite and skim through my emails. As an eLearning instructional designer with a penchant for exploring new horizons, I was immediately drawn to a particular job alert from Fiverr.com. The title “Seeking AWS/Azure Expert to Set Up Open EDX with Gamification Features and Reporting Abilities” sparked a surge of excitement within me. Let me take you through this captivating journey.
The allure of the job posting was undeniable. With my seasoned background in AWS, Azure, and a dabble in Open EDX, the project seemed tailor-made for my skill set. The prospect of integrating gamification features and enhancing reporting capabilities in an eLearning environment was both a challenge and an adventure I was eager to embark on. Thus, I reached out to the client on Fiverr, keen to learn more and potentially contribute to this innovative endeavor.
“When opportunity knocks in the form of a compelling eLearning project, it’s hard not to answer with enthusiasm and a dash of creativity.”

What particularly piqued my interest in this job posting was the seamless integration of technical prowess and creative innovation it demanded. The notion of employing my skills in AWS/Azure to set up Open EDX, coupled with the task of weaving in gamification features, was an exciting prospect. The emphasis on reporting abilities further resonated with me, highlighting the importance of tracking and understanding learner progression—a cornerstone of any successful eLearning initiative.
Reflecting on a previous project for a software company, where I had implemented similar features, brought a wave of nostalgia and excitement. That project, focusing on AWS services training with gamified elements, had been a resounding success, fostering engagement and knowledge retention among employees. This current opportunity felt like a chance to not only revisit that triumph but to elevate it with the knowledge and experience I’ve accrued since.
The original job post detailed a quest for an AWS/Azure expert to develop an Open EDX platform enriched with gamification and advanced reporting features. Responsibilities spanned from CSV learner uploads to SCORM file integration, automatic content activation, and the creation of a dynamic gamification framework. The vision was clear: to forge an engaging, comprehensive eLearning experience that was as informative as it was captivating.
Conclusion of Job Posting Review
Despite the initial allure, a critical review of the job posting prompted a reconsideration. The complexity and depth of the project, juxtaposed with the proposed budget of $150, revealed a discrepancy between the project’s demands and the remuneration. My commitment to delivering high-quality, innovative solutions necessitates a budget that reflects the extensive work involved.
