What does a course developer do?

Course developers create educational courses and training materials for businesses, organizations, and educational institutions. Specific job duties may vary, depending on the company, but their primary job duties are to identify training needs, develop instructional materials, and evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of the course. As a course developer, you may work in conjunction with the human resources department at a large company to find new strategies to train employees. Or you may develop online courses for an educational organization. Qualifications to become a course developer include a bachelor’s degree in education, instructional design, or a related field, and several years of industry experience.
