About the Role

A major focus for the role will be to build courses that are modular, with core lessons teaching key skills, complemented by elective modules that offer topic/tool specific add-on skills. CfA courseware is intended to be flexible enough to be easily customised or repackaged for different audiences by our in-country staff trainers or university partners. The MOOC courseware also serves as the master curricula for teaching kits for our in-person/offline training workshops, as well as template course materials for our university partners.
CfA’s curriculum developer will be responsible for benchmarking our learning materials on global best-practices, and will also lead our joint development of new courses with both internal and external stakeholders to create learning solutions.

You will need to possess a keen attention to detail and a good eye for both quality and aesthetics. You should be comfortable handling multiple tasks with multiple ongoing deadlines and should have previous experience working on the digital collaboration tools that CfA uses, such as Slack, Google Drive, and Trello.
Responsibilities:
Your daily responsibilities will include:
Conceptualising and designing master curricula, in consultation with CfA programme teams and external domain experts, for modular, task-driven experiential courses that function as both self-directed e-learning and as in-person courseware of instructors.
Developing courseware support materials, including facilitator guides and user-manuals; participant materials and exercises/assignments; and course handouts/toolkits.
Designing and developing digital training materials, including e-learning modules, videos, and other resources
Collaborate with CfA’s Academy to ensure that training materials are aligned with program goals and participant needs
Repacking the master curriculum for offline/in-person presentation, including developing presentation slides (PowerPoint, etc) with instructor talking points/notes; class handouts and participant handbooks, etc.
Cultivate and manage a pool of thematic experts that CfA can call upon to co-author courses and/or present flagship classes.
Working closely with trainers and subject matter experts to ensure that training materials are accurate, engaging, and effective
Proactively measure user experience and participant trends/feedback to improve the quality and effectiveness of CfA courseware.
Monitor overall usage/completion rates and trends for CfA’s online MOOC and other webinar-based learning programmes, to offer actionable insights to improve the effectiveness of CfA’s Academy programmes.
Evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of the training courses, and incorporate feedback to improve future iterations
Monitor trends in teaching practices, and explore and recommend new technologies that will enhance Knowledge’s training model
Incorporating best practices in instructional design, including interactive elements, assessments, and multimedia content
Advise CfA’s trainers on the following aspects of the training content: accessibility, readability, potential for learner engagement and fit with learning objectives.
