Instructional Designer

Instructional Designers specialise in creating educational experiences and materials that make the process of acquiring knowledge or skills more effective, efficient and appealing. They often work in a broad range of industries including education, healthcare and technology among others. Tasks commonly include designing e-learning courses, writing user manuals, creating lesson plans and sometimes incorporating games for a better learning experience. This role typically works closely with subject matter experts, testing the designed materials, working with graphics and multimedia and sometimes even teaching or training. Instructional Designers also consistently evaluate the effectiveness of learning materials and, based on feedback, make necessary improvements.
