Online Course Developer: What is this profession?
An e-course developer is a person who creates a finished educational product. Such employees are present in almost every company where the process of employee development is built, managers and training trainers work.

Every day, a person consumes up to 34 gigabytes of information, and among all this noise, it is easy to lose what is important for learning. The task of the course developer is to build the logic of the educational program and choose a format so that the information is better remembered. In addition, he must involve employees in the learning process - after all, in the case of corporate education, the initiative most often comes not from the employees themselves, but from the management.

So, an e-learning developer is a specialist who can turn even a boring work schedule into an adventure for employees. This work is closely related to creative thinking and openness to everything new.

There are many narrower specializations within the profession: methodologist, designer, scriptwriter, tester. Most often, in Russian companies, these tasks are combined by one person. But gradually, as the popularity of the profession grows, more and more customers appear who share these roles.

For example, at iSpring we have instructional designers, e-course layout designers, and designers. When we hire a new employee, they try out different roles in the team — they can be tasked with writing a script, creating test questions, developing a prototype, several variations of an e-course design, or even layout a course. Together with mentors, we observe and analyze which competence the employee has developed best — and offer them to grow in this area.
