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.
