Objectives of this role

The eLearning Developer is the technical backbone of course production at Curio. You build and maintain online courses inside learning management systems and authoring tools, translating design briefs and source content into polished, accessible digital learning experiences.

You work closely with Learning Designers and Learning Technologists, owning the build quality of each course you produce. You are methodical, technically confident, and take pride in getting the details right - from accessibility compliance to a consistent, well-structured course build.

Key responsibilities and duties

Course build

• Build online courses in LMS platforms (Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace) and authoring tools (Rise 360, Articulate Storyline), including lectures, video, assessments, H5P activities, and iframes.

• Translate design briefs and source documents into technically sound, visually consistent course builds.

• Implement interactive elements in line with provided style guides and client frameworks.

Content migration and revision

• Migrate content from source documents (Word, PDF, PowerPoint) into digital learning platforms accurately and efficiently.

• Revise existing course content based on feedback from Learning Designers or clients, applying changes precisely.

Accessibility and quality assurance

• Ensure all course content conforms to WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility guidelines.

• Conduct quality assurance checks against provided frameworks, style guides, and client requirements before delivery.

LMS administration and support

• Administer LMS functions including date restrictions, master course and section creation, assessment and test bank management, and course revisions.

• Diagnose and resolve LMS configuration and content issues.

• Test and evaluate new LMS features and third-party integrations, facilitating external product evaluation where required.

• Participate in information exchange with Learning Designers, Learning Technologists, and LMS administrators.

Skills and qualifications

Required

• A relevant bachelor’s degree and at least 2–3 years of experience in an eLearning development or LMS administration role.

• Hands-on experience with at least one major LMS platform (Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, or Brightspace).

• Proficiency with eLearning authoring tools, particularly Rise 360 or Articulate Storyline.

• Working knowledge of HTML and CSS for troubleshooting and light customisation.

• Solid understanding of WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility requirements.

• Strong attention to detail and an organised approach to managing multiple concurrent builds.

• Able to work independently, manage own workload, and deliver reliably to deadlines.

• Clear written and verbal communication skills in English.

Desired

• Experience with H5P, iframes, or other interactive content tools.

• Familiarity with information architecture principles and web-based instruction design.

• Experience working in a higher education or professional learning context.

• Exposure to project management or collaboration tools (e.g. Jira, Asana, Confluence).

What success looks like

• Courses are built accurately and on time, with no avoidable errors reaching the client.

• Accessibility checks pass consistently — WCAG compliance is the default, not an afterthought.

• LMS issues are diagnosed and resolved quickly, with Learning Designers and stakeholders kept informed.

• Feedback is applied precisely and without rework.

• You are known as someone who can be handed a brief and trusted to deliver.

Work health and safety responsibilities

• Take reasonable care for your own health and safety.

• Take reasonable care for the health and safety of others.

• Comply with any reasonable instruction.

• Cooperate with any reasonable policies and procedures.

• Lead by example and promote health and safety at every opportunity.
