Technical Skills

• Strong instructional design capabilities across multiple modalities (eLearning, video, ILT, job aids)

• Strong understanding of the learning content development lifecycle and ability to execute across all phases with minimal oversight

• Proficient in Articulate Rise design and development; able to produce polished, interactive eLearning without support

• Proficient with video recording and editing tools; independently produces and edits learning video content

• Strong knowledge of adult learning principles and ability to apply them independently across varied content types

• Familiar with Articulate Storyline

• Proficient in LMS/LXP platforms — independently publishes, tests, troubleshoots, and maintains course content

• Proficient with SCORM standards; independently manages packaging, testing, and version control

• Demonstrated experience working with AI tools to enhance development efficiency and learning efficacy
