Job description

Our growing technology and business training company is looking for a new team member to join our Video Production department in the role of Instructional Design Editorial Assistant.

LearnSmart is looking for a skilled instructional design editorial assistant who can help us make sure our content is both comprehensive and comprehensible. LearnSmart is well known throughout the e‑Learning industry as a professional video‑based content developer. You’ll become an expert in our content management system and keep a watchful eye on our content to ensure course materials are accurate, information is appropriately aligned to vendor specifications, images are current, and inactive or irrelevant content is retired when needed. You think like a tester, read like an editor, and always pay attention to the details. You do your part to help our content department meet every publishing deadline and suitable request.

Responsibilities

Responsible for storyboarding scripts and study guides for each LearnSmart course. As a member of the Editorial team you will be responsible for creating an A/V script. The A/V scripts will be based on a preliminary teleprompter script in which you will add graphics, photos, and animation cues used by the production team to build the preliminary slides using Keynote (MAC application very similar to PowerPoint). These slides will need to be re‑worked to ensure they meet company standards in terms of quality and purpose. You will use your artistic instructional design skills to ensure the content is organized and presentable in a manner that is well formed and meets global standards. Your ability to write creatively and transform scripted study guides into conversational courseware is key. You will also be responsible for writing short promo scripts derived from each course to be used as promotional marketing material for each new course. As a member of the Editorial team you will report to the Dir. of Courseware Development. Upon completion of the A/V scripts, you will deliver the A/V script for the Dir. of Courseware Development for review.

Qualifications

• Strong Academic Record – Doing well in school matters! It shows us that you took the tasks at hand seriously and dealt with them successfully.
• College Degrees – 4 yr Degree with 3-5 yrs professional experience required. We tend to look for graduates in English, Writing, Instructional Design, or Communications who have an eye for copy editing, and have intellectual interests and panache too!
• Technical Acumen – Individuals with an aptitude or interest in content management, editing, or system tools are desired. Basic knowledge of web navigating, research, and ability to manipulate images is a must!
• Survival Skills – Your toolbox should include dealing with ambiguity and getting scrappy.
