Job description

About the Role

TorranceLearning is leading the design and development of a large, self‑paced e‑learning curriculum for a critical Federal agency initiative. We’re seeking several experienced e‑learning course developers to join a cross‑functional team of instructional designers, visual designers, and learning technology specialists.

This is a high‑volume, iterative build environment. You’ll primarily implement modules from build‑ready storyboards, while collaborating closely with instructional designers (ID) to ensure instructional intent translates cleanly within authoring tool constraints, templates, and mobile‑first/responsive delivery.

Note on tools: Development may occur in dominKnow Flow and/or another modern authoring platform (e.g., Articulate Rise). You must be comfortable learning new tools quickly and applying consistent build standards across tools.

Job Details

• Pay rate: $55–65/hour (1099)
• Weekly hours: ~15–35 hours depending on project phase and client response (hours are not guaranteed)
• Location: Remote; all work must be completed within the United States
• Collaboration hours: This project runs on Eastern Time business hours and requires daytime availability for real‑time collaboration
• Travel is not required; any client‑required travel would be paid.
• You must be able to secure Public Trust clearance prior to contract start.

How Delivery Works

Work is delivered in waves using LLAMA® iterations: Skeleton → Alpha → Beta → Final.

• Wave model: You’ll support Skeleton + Alpha design for one new module per wave, and lead Beta/Final development updates and reviews for prior modules. You can expect to work in parallel on several waves.
• Client reviews: Formal review cycles occur at key phases; feedback may come from multiple reviewer groups.

What You’ll Do

Build & Implementation (Core Output)

• Build responsive e‑learning modules from build‑ready storyboards (Word template) with high fidelity to instructional intent and established standards.
• Implement interactions, branching logic, states, assessment behavior, and completion rules appropriate to mobile‑first constraints.
• Incorporate approved content updates and revisions following internal reviews and client feedback cycles.

Accessibility (Section 508 / WCAG)

• Build modules to meet Section 508/WCAG 2.1 AA requirements and inclusive design expectations.
• Proactively check accessibility during development and assist with completing the project’s accessibility checklist.
• Partner with quality assurance (QA) and accessibility specialists to resolve defects efficiently and reduce late‑cycle rework.

xAPI / SCORM Packaging

• Implement xAPI tracking as specified, with support from the xAPI specialist team.
• Produce SCORM exports/packages as required for delivery.

Media & Visual Implementation

• Create simple media/graphics as needed (e.g., illustrations, icons, layouts), or pull from approved asset libraries, and follow established visual standards.
• Collaborate with visual designers (VD) for custom or complex assets.
• Ensure media is optimized for responsiveness, accessibility, and performance.

Collaboration, Reviews, and Quality

• Collaborate with ID to ensure proposed interactions are feasible and aligned to tool constraints and templates; proactively identify and resolve design‑to‑build translation issues early.
• Participate in QA reviews of your own and peers’ work; provide constructive feedback and follow standards consistently.
• Maintain clean build hygiene: versioning, naming conventions, and source organization in shared repositories.

Tools & Working Environment

Microsoft Teams, Slack (Collaboration); SharePoint (files and version control); spreadsheets and dominKnow review tool (reviews); e‑learning development platform: dominKnow Flow (primarily) or other modern authoring tools (e.g., Rise); ClickUp project management software.

What You Bring

Experience

• 3+ years professional e‑learning development for adults in a workplace setting.
• Strong experience building responsive/mobile‑first learning using modern authoring tools.
• Demonstrated ability to build and test e‑learning modules to meet Section 508/WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards.
• Familiarity with SCORM packaging and xAPI concepts; comfort implementing tracking with specialist support.
• Experience working in an iterative/Agile instructional design environment (LLAMA® familiarity is a plus).

Skills

• Proficiency in one or more authoring tools (e.g., dominKnow Flow, Articulate Storyline or Rise, Adobe Captivate) demonstrated through a portfolio of work.
• Ability to efficiently and accurately translate a complete storyboard into a fully functional e‑learning module.
• Strong attention to detail and a QA mindset (including proofreading, interaction testing, and consistency checks).
• Ability to troubleshoot build issues and resolve technical problems independently or in collaboration with the team.
• Solid visual layout and implementation skills, including the ability to follow templates and consistently apply visual standards.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills; collaborative partner to ID, VD, QA, and PM.
• Strong self‑management, prioritization, and reliability in a high‑volume environment.
• Working knowledge of accessibility best practices (e.g., Section 508/WCAG 2.1 AA) as applied to e‑learning development.

What Good Looks Like in This Role

• Modules delivered on time that are ready for handoff and require minimal rework.
• Consistent adherence to development standards, templates, accessibility, and version control practices.
• Clean implementation of interactions and assessments that work reliably across devices, including mobile.
• Clear, proactive communication of status, blockers, and estimates—no surprises.

How to Apply

Candidates will be asked to provide a portfolio with examples of responsive modules, interaction complexity, visual/graphic design skills, and accessibility‑minded builds.
