• Develop and edit graphics, images, video, audio, and other multimedia assets incorporated into digital learning experiences.
• Apply eLearning accessibility standards and best practices throughout course design and development to create inclusive learning experiences.
• Create and maintain professional training presentations and supporting materials using Microsoft PowerPoint and Word.
• Assist with maintaining, revising, and modernizing existing courses as requirements, processes, or content change.
• Develop knowledge checks, examinations, performance assessments, and evaluation instruments to measure learner comprehension and training effectiveness.
• Review evaluation and performance data to determine training effectiveness and recommend improvements.
• Perform quality reviews to ensure learning materials are accurate, consistent, accessible, user-friendly, and compliant with organizational standards.
• Manage multiple concurrent learning projects, prioritize competing deadlines, and communicate project status, risks, questions, and dependencies to appropriate stakeholders.
• Adapt quickly to changing business requirements and operate effectively in a fast-paced, operationally focused environment.
