Instructional Designer
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Pay and Schedule only if posting actually states them. The posting includes "Position Salary Range: $60,000-$63,000 per year, depending on experience". So we can include Pay section with that. Schedule? Not mentioned. Benefits? Not explicitly listed; there is mention of relocation assistance link but that's generic. Not specific benefits like health insurance etc. So we should not include Benefits unless specific. There's no explicit benefits listed. So omit Benefits. Also we need sections: About the role (maybe from Job Description), Responsibilities (Essential Duties), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (Desired Qualifications), Skills (maybe combine desired qualifications?), but we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We should include sections that have content. Likely we will have About the role (Job Description paragraph), Responsibilities (Essential Duties bullet points), Requirements (Minimum Qualifications), Qualifications (Desired Qualifications), Skills (maybe list of specific skills from desired qualifications? Could be overlapping). But we could combine desired qualifications under Qualifications and maybe Skills separate for tools etc. However we must not create thin sections. Let's see content:
Job Description paragraph: describes role.
Essential Duties: includes bullet points under "Design and Develop Scalable Learning Experiences" and "Leverage AI and Emerging Technologies in Course Design". Those are responsibilities.
Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor's degree and three years experience OR equivalent.
Desired Qualifications: list of experiences.
We could map:
- About the role: Job Description paragraph.
- Responsibilities: Essential Duties (list items).
- Requirements: Minimum Qualifications.
- Qualifications: Desired Qualifications (maybe as list).
- Skills: Could extract specific skills like "Canvas, Articulate Rise, Storyline, H5P, AI tools, UDL, backward design, data-informed approaches, accessibility WCAG, multimedia integration". But that's essentially same as desired qualifications. Might be redundant. Better to not create Skills if it's just repeating. Could combine desired qualifications under Qualifications and omit Skills. But we need to follow instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Pay. That's five sections. That seems good.
We must not include Schedule (no info). Benefits (no specific). So output:
About the role

Position Salary Range: $60,000-$63,000 per year, depending on experience
We must preserve all substantive information. Let's extract exact text. About the role: The Job Description paragraph: "The Instructional Designer within ASU’s Learning Enterprise Learning Design team designs and develops innovative, scalable learning experiences that support a population of learners across career advancement, workforce development, and academic pathways. Instructional Designers collaborate with faculty, subject matter experts, product teams, and industry partners to design high-quality learning experiences delivered through a variety of platforms and modalities, including online asynchronous and synchronous immersion classes. These offerings may include Universal Learner Courses, Career and Professional Learning programs, executive education, and other learning innovations that expand access to education and career opportunity. In this role, the Instructional Designer applies evidence-based learning science, modern pedagogical practices, and emerging educational technologies to design engaging and effective learning experiences. Designers are expected to leverage tools such as Canvas and modern authoring platforms, while also integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and automation tools into the course design and development process in ways that enhance learner experience and instructional efficiency. Instructional Designers are assigned to projects across the Learning Design portfolio and work collaboratively within cross-functional teams to design, develop, launch, and continuously improve learning experiences at scale. The successful candidate will design courses for asynchronous online learners and synchronous immersion learners and contribute to the ongoing improvement of design frameworks, templates, and processes. Designers will also use learner data, engagement metrics, and feedback to inform course revisions and continuous improvement. This role is based at ASU’s Tempe campus. A fingerprint background check is a mandatory step in the hiring process. ASU will not sponsor this position; the applicant must be eligible to work in the U.S. without sponsorship." We need to keep that as prose. Might be long but okay. Responsibilities: Essential Duties: "By the end of the first year in the position, the Instructional Designer will contribute to the Learning Design team in the following ways: Design and Develop Scalable Learning ExperiencesThe Instructional Designer will collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to design high-quality courses and learning experiences that support learner populations in asynchronous and synchronous modalities. Responsibilities include:Partner with faculty, subject matter experts, and internal stakeholders to design innovative and effective learning experiences for higher education, career learning and executive education.Collaborate with multimedia specialists, instructional technologists, and course managers to ensure high-quality course delivery. Leverage AI and Emerging Technologies in Course DesignInstructional Designers will leverage emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, to enhance course development and learner experience. Responsibilities include:Integrate AI-enabled tools into course design and development workflows.Support experimentation and pilot initiatives involving new educational technologies." We need to format as list items. The text currently lacks punctuation; we can split into sensible list items: - Partner with faculty, subject matter experts, and internal stakeholders to design innovative and effective learning experiences for higher education, career learning and executive education. - Collaborate with multimedia specialists, instructional technologists, and course managers to ensure high-quality course delivery. - Integrate AI-enabled tools into course design and development workflows. - Support experimentation and pilot initiatives involving new educational technologies. Also maybe include the overarching statement "Design and Develop Scalable Learning Experiences" but that's a heading; we can incorporate as part of responsibilities description. We'll keep list items as above. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications: "Bachelor's degree and three (3) years of experience appropriate to the area of assignment/field; OR, Any equivalent combination of experience and/or training from which comparable knowledge, skills and abilities have been achieved." We'll put that in. Qualifications: Desired Qualifications list: many items. Let's extract each line: - Experience designing and developing asynchronous online courses and synchronous immersion experiences. - Demonstrated experience applying instructional design methodologies such as backward design and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). - Experience using learning technologies such as Canvas, Articulate Rise, Storyline, H5P, or similar rapid authoring tools. - Experience collaborating with faculty, subject matter experts, and interdisciplinary project teams. - Experience integrating multimedia, interactive learning elements, and technology-enhanced learning strategies. - Experience applying data-informed approaches to course design and continuous improvement. - Experience working with or evaluating artificial intelligence tools in instructional design workflows. - Familiarity with accessibility standards such as WCAG. - Experience designing learning experiences that support workforce development, professional learning, and executive education, including synchronous or immersion learning programs. We'll put each as
. We must not include any boilerplate like "Apply before...", "Instructions to Apply", etc. Also remove duplicated lines, etc. Check for any other substantive info: "A fingerprint background check is a mandatory step...". Already included in About the role. Also "ASU will not sponsor this position; the applicant must be eligible to work in the U.S. without sponsorship." Included. Also "This role is based at ASU’s Tempe campus." Included. Also maybe "Department Statement: About Learning Enterprise:" is substantive? It's a description of Learning Enterprise. Could be considered About the role? It's more about the department. Might be worth including in About the role as additional paragraph. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information. So we should include that department statement. It's not boilerplate; it's description of Learning Enterprise. Let's include it after the Job Description paragraph as another
under About the role. Department Statement text: "About Learning Enterprise:ASU’s Learning Enterprise expands universal access to opportunity for learners – at every stage in life. Serving over 1.2 million learners in over 150 countries worldwide, we're reimagining the role of universities in society as catalysts of economic and social mobility, guided by the belief that all learners can harness education as a ladder of opportunity. Our programs meet learners wherever they are, removing the barriers while prioritizing belonging and support. Through ASU’s Learning Enterprise, it’s easy to get started on your learning journey – and there’s no limit to where you can go. Learn more at https://learning.asu.edu/." We'll include that as a paragraph. Also maybe "ASU Statement:" etc is boilerplate (EEO etc). Remove. Also "Notice of Availability of the ASU Annual Security and Fire Safety Report:" etc is boilerplate legal. Remove. Also "Relocation Assistance – For information about schools..." maybe not specific benefit; it's a link but not a benefit statement. Could be considered a benefit but it's generic. Probably remove as not specific. Also "Employment Verification Statement..." etc boilerplate. Remove. Also "Background Check Statement..." etc duplicate of fingerprint. Already have fingerprint mention. Remove. Also "About Arizona State University" etc boilerplate. Remove. Thus final HTML:
