Job Description: Are you a student-centric designer, an iterative prototyper, and a systems builder? As an information architect, do you treat navigation as a pedagogical decision? Do you enjoy collaborating in a high-standards, psychologically safe environment? Then keep reading below for this Learning Experience Designer opportunity! ASU EdPlus is a dynamic unit of Arizona State University focused on the design and scalable delivery of digital teaching and learning models to increase student success and reduce barriers to achievement in higher education. We advance the economic, social, cultural, and overall health of the local, national, and international communities served by ASU. We are seeking a Learning Experience Designer (LXD) to join our innovative EdPlus Digital Learning team. For background: when students describe an online course they liked, the word they use most often is “organized.” When they describe one they struggled with, the word is “confusing.” Neither judgment is about content quality. Both are about design: what the course looks like, how it reads, whether the path through it is obvious, and whether the first ten minutes make sense. As a senior individual contributor, every day you will make a difference in the lives of others by bringing UX-grade design practice to the surface of the learning experience. You own typography, hierarchy, color, layout, page architecture, navigation, and wayfinding across the portfolio. You will research with students, build mockups, run usability tests, and build the pattern libraries that let dozens of designers produce consistent work. You will work within a highly collaborative, cross-functional studio model, designing alongside data scientists, user experience researchers, product managers, learning assessment leads, multimedia producers, and visionary faculty. This is a role where design is treated as a core pedagogical decision, supported by a rich peer ecosystem.
