📋 Description

• Write the course content • Review, adapt, and develop existing materials to design a fully self-paced curriculum for learners • Author lessons, explanations, worked examples, activities, and assessments to the agreed template, structure, and quality standards. • Write to the relevant iGCSE and International A-Level specifications, exam-board requirements, and mark schemes, ensuring content is accurate, complete, and exam-aligned. • Design a mixture of assessment — some that suits self paced learners, with auto-marked and self-checking questions giving learners instant feedback, alongside key pieces throughout the course that deliver teacher-based feedback. • Structure and sequence content for independent, self-paced learners with low teacher contact — using chunking, scaffolding, retrieval practice, and purposeful digital interactions to keep learners moving, thinking, and motivated without a live teacher. • Build courses within school systems to the agreed template and brand, using the available technology to create a polished, consistent learner journey. • Build a suite of multi-modal resources to bring courses to life — video lessons, voiceovers, screencasts, interactive tools, knowledge checks, and other digital learning assets — alongside the written material. • Make content accessible and inclusive to all — SEND-aware, readable, with alt text and WCAG considerations applied. • Work to a production schedule, hitting agreed milestones for each course on a delivery-linked contract. • Submit drafts for editorial / QA review and sign-off, and revise efficiently on feedback. • Understand the constraints around correct licensing and developing IP — using third-party content legally and creating compliant, properly owned material that IOS can continue to use long-term.

🎯 Requirements

• Current or recent teacher with a teaching qualification and strong subject and curriculum knowledge. • Experience developing lesson materials for online delivery. • Experience of asynchronous lesson design / course development. • Understanding of how to design for independent, self-paced learners. • Assessment design aligned to iGCSE and International A-Level specifications, exam-board requirements, and mark schemes. • Experience working with an LMS / VLE. • Willing and able to record video lessons and voiceovers, comfortable on camera and mic. • Awareness of accessibility and inclusion (SEND, WCAG, readability). • Self-motivated and self-managing — works to deadlines, comfortable working remotely and autonomously, and confident taking ownership of a course from initial specification through to finished build. • Highly valued Experience of synchronous lesson design. • Familiarity with iGCSE and International A-Level exam-board requirements and specification alignment. • Interactive content authoring, including an interest in using digital tools to make learning more active, responsive, and engaging. • Basic media editing. • Understanding of GDPR, copyright/licensing, and safeguarding in online education.
