Experienced Elearning Course Developer (Responsive Elearning)
About the Role
TorranceLearning is leading the design and development of a large, self-paced elearning curriculum for a critical Federal agency initiative. We’re seeking several experienced elearning course developers to join a cross-functional team of instructional designers, visual designers, and learning technology specialists.
This is a high-volume, iterative build environment. You’ll primarily implement modules from build-ready storyboards, working through multiple rounds of review and revision while ensuring instructional intent, interaction behavior, accessibility, and technical details are reflected accurately in the final build.
Note on tools: Development may occur in dominKnow Flow and/or another modern authoring platform. You must be comfortable learning new tools quickly and deliver builds that meet established quality and technical standards, regardless of the platform.
Job Details
• Pay rate: $55–65/hour (1099)
• Weekly hours: ~15–35 hours depending on project phase and client response (hours are not guaranteed)
• Location: Remote; all work must be completed within the United States
• Collaboration hours: This project runs on Eastern Time business hours and requires daytime availability for real-time collaboration
• Travel is not required; any client-required travel would be paid.
• You must be able to secure Public Trust clearance prior to contract start.
How Delivery Works
Work is delivered in waves using LLAMA® iterations: Skeleton → Alpha → Beta → Final.
• Wave model: You’ll support Skeleton + Alpha design for one new module per wave, and lead Beta/Final development updates and reviews for prior modules. You can expect to work in parallel on several waves.
• Client reviews: Formal review cycles occur at key phases; feedback may come from multiple reviewer groups.
What You’ll Do
Build & Implementation (Core Output)
• Build responsive elearning modules from build-ready storyboards (Word template), applying established build standards and templates consistently.
• Implement layouts, interactions, branching logic, states, assessments, and completion rules as appropriate to the instructional need.
• Make sound building decisions within template, tool, and accessibility constraints to ensure modules function reliably across devices.
• Implement approved updates and revisions from internal and client reviews, ensuring changes do not introduce errors or inconsistencies.
Accessibility (Section 508 / WCAG)
• Build modules to meet Section 508/WCAG 2.1 AA requirements and inclusive design expectations.
• Check accessibility throughout development and support completion of the project’s accessibility checklist.
• Partner with quality assurance (QA) and accessibility specialists to resolve issues efficiently and reduce late-cycle rework.
xAPI / SCORM Packaging
• Implement xAPI tracking as specified, with support from the xAPI specialist team.
• Produce SCORM exports/packages as required for delivery.
Media & Visual Implementation
• Create simple visuals as needed (e.g., illustrations, icons, layouts), pull from approved asset libraries, and follow established visual standards.
• Collaborate with visual designers (VD) on custom or complex assets.
• Ensure media is optimized for accessibility and performance across device sizes, including mobile.
Collaboration, Reviews, and Quality
• Collaborate with ID to assess the feasibility of proposed interactions, identify tool or template constraints early, and recommend adjustments that preserve instructional intent.
• Participate in QA reviews of your own and peers’ work; provide constructive feedback and follow standards consistently.
• Maintain clean build hygiene, including versioning, naming conventions, and organized source files in shared repositories.
Tools & Working Environment
Microsoft Teams, Slack (collaboration); SharePoint (files and version control); spreadsheets and dominKnow review tool (reviews); elearning development platform: dominKnow Flow (primarily) or other modern authoring tools, depending on module needs or project phase; ClickUp (project management software).
What You Bring
Experience
• 3+ years professional elearning development for adults in a workplace setting.
• Experience building elearning with a mobile-first or responsive mindset, including consideration for layout, interaction behavior, and usability across devices.
• Demonstrated ability to build elearning that meets Section 508/WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility requirements.
• Familiarity with SCORM packaging and xAPI concepts; comfort implementing tracking with specialist support.
• Experience working within established templates, standards, and shared build patterns as part of the team-based development effort.
• Experience working in an iterative/Agile instructional design environment (LLAMA® familiarity is a plus).
Skills
• Experience using elearning authoring tools to build modules that include responsive layouts, varied and complex interactions, and assessments (e.g., dominKnow Flow, Articulate Storyline, Articulate Rise, Adobe Captivate).
• Ability to efficiently and accurately translate a complete storyboard into a fully functional elearning module.
• Strong attention to detail and a QA mindset (including proofreading, interaction testing, and consistency checks).
• Ability to troubleshoot build issues and resolve technical problems independently or in collaboration with the team.
• Solid visual layout and implementation skills, including consistent application of templates and visual standards.
• Effective written and verbal communication skills and a collaborative working style.
• Strong self-management, prioritization, and reliability in a high-volume production environment.
• Working knowledge of accessibility best practices (e.g., Section 508/WCAG 2.1 AA) as applied to elearning development
What Good Looks Like in This Role
• Modules ready for handoff on time and required minimal rework.
• Builds consistently follow established templates, accessibility requirements, and version control practices.
• Interactions and assessments function reliably across devices, including on mobile.
• Status, risks, and estimates are communicated early and clearly.
How to Apply
Candidates will be asked to provide a portfolio demonstrating experience with responsive elearning, interaction design (including more complex behaviors), visual/graphic implementation, and accessible builds.
