Overview

The Instructional Designer focuses on developing learning content based on pre-established storyboards provided by the Learning Architect (LA) in collaboration with subject matter experts (SMEs). This role involves the technical creation of e-learning modules, multimedia content, and other digital training materials. This project-based role strongly focuses on executing the instructional design plan for each project and delivering high-quality learning solutions.

• Produce multimedia assets, such as videos and basic simulations, that are beyond the capabilities of standard authoring tools.
• Implement and integrate interactive elements, such as quizzes and branching scenarios, ensuring they function as intended and align with learning objectives.
• Work closely with SMEs to refine content and ensure accuracy during the development phase.
• Package the course for LMS deployment, ensuring it meets technical specifications (e.g. SCORM compliance).
• Conduct preliminary testing to ensure the course operates smoothly and all elements work as expected before the final Quality Assurance (QA) review process.
