This post is a thrilling opportunity for an experienced Learning Designer (you might call yourself something different now, e.g. Teacher, Instructional Designer, Learning Technologist or Academic/Educational Developer), to join an established team dedicated to designing and developing leading online Higher Education courses.
You will have experience of using your skills to create inspiring and effective student-centred learning experiences. Working with a range of colleagues, including subject matter experts, digital media producers, project managers, student experience officers and progression coaches, you will be central to the creation of visual storyboards that are the basis for designing and creating course activities, assessments and digital content.
As part of the Learning Design team, you will be responsible for co-creating, with subject matter experts, high-quality online courses that are innovative, inspiring and enjoyable. These courses will be accessible to thousands of new distance learners across the globe.
