Person specification
We are looking for someone with an instructional design qualification, or equivalent professional experience, and strong specialist knowledge of learning management systems (LMS), learning architecture, virtual learning environments, instructional design, digital learning pathways, analytics and dashboards. You will also have proven experience using authoring tools, including AI-enabled or predictive tools to design and improve digital learning, alongside a good understanding of content quality assurance, version control, accessibility and system integrations.
Experience of MI reporting, data analysis and dashboard development is essential.
