2. LMS architecture – A key part of this role is ensuring we shape how our content will fit into our LMS in terms of enrollment rules, annuals, how one progresses through courses, and how they are packaged in the broader LMS to ensure we have reporting fidelity and an intuitive layout to progress through training.

Leaning on center level expertise and at times physically going to centers to ensure there is a rich understanding of how to package information.
4. Rapid, scalable design — use modular, template-driven course design (reusable objectives, assessment banks, branded components) so new courses can be assembled and localized quickly instead of built from scratch each time.
5. Medium selection – Utilizing data from past content creation and in collaboration with stakeholders determine what is the right medium for learning. Understanding when to use the whole spectrum from PDF document to a hands on learning.
6. Measure efficacy, not just completion — define success metrics for every piece of content before it launches and report on them against a regular cadence. Moving our work to an ROI/outcomes based approach to developing content.

3. Basic graphics/video creation and editing skills (e.g., Photoshop, Premiere/Camtasia, Illustrator, Vyond) to produce or direct polished assets quickly.
