      • Ensure every change aligns with defined learning objectives and executive‐education pedagogy.
    • Quality Assurance & Testing
      • Perform rigorous pre-launch reviews—accessibility, UX flow, mobile responsiveness, and SCORM/LTI integrations.
      • Coordinate pilot releases and capture rapid-cycle data to validate improvements.
    • Stakeholder Collaboration
      • Partner with faculty, subject-matter experts, and program managers to refine content voice and rigor.

Required Qualifications

  • 1+ years designing or updating courses in Canvas LMS for adult or executive audiences.
  • Proven command of instructional design theories (ADDIE, Bloom’s Taxonomy, Kirkpatrick Levels of Evaluation).
  • Strong media development skills (Storyline, Camtasia, or similar) and familiarity with HTML/CSS for Canvas page tweaks.
  • Data-driven mindset—comfortable extracting insights from Canvas Analytics or similar dashboards.
  • Exceptional written communication; can distill complex business concepts into clear, action-oriented learning materials.

 

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in corporate executive education, business schools, or professional development programs.
  • Working knowledge of AI-driven learning tools (e.g., adaptive release, personalized feedback bots).
