  • Quality and Accessibility: Ensure all instructional materials and digital content meet accessibility, usability, and quality assurance standards in accordance with university policy and best practices.
  • Innovation and Research: Stay current with trends in learning science, educational technology, and instructional design; share insights and contribute to the development of institutional best practices.
  • Technology and Tools: Utilize systems such as Brightspace, Microsoft 365, and other emerging educational technologies to support course design and faculty engagement.

*This role is expected to work 4 days per week in-office and 1 day per week remotely.

  • Experience applying accessibility standards and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles in digital course design is required.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects, priorities, and stakeholder relationships in a collaborative, service-oriented environment is required.
  • Exceptional interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills, with the ability to consult effectively across disciplines and organizational levels is required.
  • Proficiency with learning management systems (e.g., Canvas, Brightspace, Blackboard) and related instructional technologies is required.
  • Demonstrated success partnering with faculty and academic leadership to advance institutional goals for teaching and learning is preferred.
