  • Produce and mix high-quality audio for instructional media, including voiceovers and live recordings, ensuring clarity and instructional effectiveness.
  • Create instructional motion graphics and visual teaching assets, independently or in collaboration with designers.
  • Monitor platform updates, emerging tools, and instructional media practices, and make institutional recommendations to improve academic media workflows, standards, and system use.
  • Troubleshoot instructional video playback, embedding, and integration issues within learning management systems and academic platforms.
  • Participate in online and continuing education course development, redesign, content development, and cross-functional design sprints as a required media production and platform dependency.
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of instructional media standards, workflows, and visual communication practices in support of online learning.
