• Designing the course structure — modules, lessons, assessments — so the content flows.
• Developing the instructional content from source material, using storyboard-based design.
• Choosing instructional strategies that work for different learning styles.
• Designing pre-, formative and summative assessments that actually gauge progress.
• Running the evaluation that measures the course impact, and a feedback mechanism that feeds the next revision.
• Providing instructional design assistance and quality assurance to other course providers.
• Preparing, facilitating and evaluating instructor-led activities, virtual and residential.
• Researching emerging learning technologies and recommending what is worth adopting.

What you would bring

• A degree in education and training development or a related programme — learning theory, educational psychology, instructional design.

• Experience communicating with clients and subject matter experts through the whole design process.

This is a long engagement that renews year on year, not a short project.
