Our vision is “to empower universities to change the world.” We achieve this vision by offering our university partners various products and services that help them be more resilient, responsive, efficient, and interconnected.

The ideal candidate will bring:

Excitement and creativity about the potential of online learning.
Substantial knowledge of adult learning theory, learning science, and principles of effective online pedagogy.
Eagerness to learn how to use online authoring tools and learning management systems quickly.
Substantial knowledge of evidence-based instructional strategies that promote student engagement and learning.
Accountability and a results-driven attitude.
Professionalism and the ability to work with higher education faculty as peers.
A can-do attitude ‒ this is a start-up, which means you must be able to embrace uncertainty with poise.
A team-player.
A customer service-focused mindset.

As a Learning Designer, you will:

Develop a variety of content types, including notes, PPT slides, synchronous lesson plans, discussion forums, graphics briefs, instructional and contextual copy, and Rise storyboards, video storyboards, video scripts, and case studies, to Noodle quality standards.
Effectively leverage a basic suite of authoring tools and plugins, including Articulate Rise and Storyline, to develop high quality courses.
Develop assessments, including automated quiz questions and feedback, written assignments, and group projects, to Noodle quality standards.
Conduct a standard course-level requirements analysis, incl. assessing learning needs, audience, and placement.
Create a blueprint for a course, including formulating and scaffolding high-level outcomes, course structure, delivery design, and evaluation.
Demonstrate awareness of learning technologies, including when they should and should not be used.
Where the Learning Designer is the Lead on a project, act as final quality control QC point for all assets. This means, as the Lead, supervise each design team member, sets expectations with our high standards, and hold the team and yourself accountable for excellence. Provide targeted guidance to other Learning Designers to ensure that the online program(s) reflects the high standards of our EPIIIC (Engaging, Personalized, Interactive, Intuitive, Inclusive, Collaborative) learning design rubric.
Where the Learning Designer is the Lead on a project, manage diverse learning design teams responsible for working with university Faculty to bring their course to life, online.

At times, effectively balance the time pressures of multiple projects (2 to 3 projects) simultaneously.
Establish and maintain a positive and productive working relationship with one or more Faculty or Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) (e.g., confidently make design/content suggestions to support a quality learning experience whilst also meeting time limitations and other expectations of the Faculty or SME).
Communicate with the Project Manager to provide regular updates, including issues affecting time and scope of project where these cannot be resolved directly by the Learning Designer.
Ensure that Faculty or SME requests are reasonably within project budget, quality, timeline, goals and learning objectives.

Honors or Masters degree, preferably in education.
2-5 years’ relevant experience in Education or Learning/Instructional Design.
