Two needed
As well as the core areas, candidates are required to demonstrate evidence of independent practice in two Specialist areas. This reflects the fact that, although there are common areas of work for learning technologists, practice is extremely diverse and everyone specialises in something different.
There may be overlap with other sections, but the Specialist areas should be presented as discrete (and complete) sections in themselves.
Your specialist topic should reflect an area where you have particular expertise. This may be unique to you or common across your team
In describing your Specialist areas you should refer to the core values listed at the top of these guidelines. Because these are specialist areas you should be clear what makes your work distinct from common practice. It may be that your specialist area is common amongst the group that you work in as you all work in a similar area; that is perfectly acceptable.
Evidence for your specialist activities is likely to be very specific but could include: reports, papers, blog posts or presentations you have written; this could be backed up by a job description plus written statements supporting your specialist knowledge from colleagues, clients or managers; active membership of professional or other bodies; recordings or transcripts of presentations; social media feedback from peers; certificates of completion of specialist training programmes or courses, and so on.
