About the Role
TorranceLearning is leading the design and development of a large, self-pacedelearning 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’llsupport 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 fullyfunctionalelearning 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.
