• Content Packaging and Deployment

  • Configure, package, and prepare e-learning modules (e.g., SCORM/xAPI-compliant SCOs) for deployment to the LMS/LCMS environments.
  • Validate that content functions as designed in the LMS/LCMS environment, including launch, navigation, tracking, and completion reporting.
  • Coordinate with IT/LMS administrators to resolve technical issues related to training content configuration and delivery.
• Library and Asset Management
  • Maintain a centralized library/repository of training artifacts, ensuring assets are logically organized and easily discoverable.
  • Manage media assets (graphics, audio, video) to ensure proper file formats, compression, and linkage to associated lessons and modules.
  • Support content reuse by maintaining modular, well-documented learning objects and templates.
• Collaboration and Standards
  • Partner with instructional designers, subject matter experts, and project managers to ensure content structure and configuration align with instructional goals and project requirements.
  • Support content reuse by maintaining modular, well-documented learning objects, templates, and patterns.
