Instructional Designer

Responsibilities

Course Design & Development: Develop learning objectives, storyboards for engaging, interactive, and effective eLearning courses and training materials, to be developed using industry-standard tools such as Articulate Storyline, Adobe Captivate, and other eLearning authoring platforms.


Learning Needs Analysis: Collaborate with subject matter experts (SMEs) to analyze the learning needs of the target audience and design appropriate learning experiences that address knowledge gaps.


Learning Objectives: Apply Bloom's Taxonomy to develop clear, measurable learning objectives for each module, ensuring content is aligned with the cognitive levels (Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create) of the learners.


Instructional Strategies: Use Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction to structure learning experiences, ensuring students are properly engaged and guided through the learning process (e.g., gaining attention, providing feedback, and enhancing retention).


Curriculum Design: Design and structure curricula using the ADDIE or SAM models, ensuring learning materials are organized logically and effectively to meet specific learning objectives and organizational goals.


Application of Merrill’s Principles: Apply Merrill's First Principles of Instruction to ensure learning activities are centered around real-world tasks and that learners are actively engaged in the learning process (e.g., activation, demonstration, application, and integration).


Experiential Learning: Utilize Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle to design learning experiences that enable learners to engage in concrete experiences, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation, fostering deeper learning.


Quality Control & Evaluation: Ensure all learning materials are accurate, high-quality, and meet organizational standards. Conduct regular assessments to evaluate the effectiveness of the learning programs and refine them based on feedback.


Collaboration: Work closely with project managers, graphic designers, multimedia specialists, and SMEs to ensure the successful development and implementation of learning programs.


Storyboarding for 2D Animation: Create detailed storyboards for 2D animation, planning and visualizing the flow of scenes, character movements, and interactions to be used in eLearning courses or training videos. Prepare storyboards in PPT format to present clear, organized visual ideas to the creative team and clients.


Project Management: Oversee the development process, including timelines, deliverables, and resources, ensuring that projects are completed on time and meet quality standards. Coordinate with the team to manage workload and priorities efficiently. Develop and present project management templates to track progress and milestones.


Client Coordination: Act as the primary point of contact for clients, ensuring their needs are met and providing regular updates on project progress. Manage client feedback and revisions to ensure satisfaction with final products.


Stay Updated: Keep up with the latest trends in instructional design, learning technologies, and eLearning best practices to continually improve course content and design.
