Description

Learning Experience, Assessment and Development Specialist

Rasmussen University

Online/Remote

The Learning Experience, Assessment, and Development Specialist is a high-level, judgment-based role responsible for creating, evaluating, and refining instructional and assessment assets using a custom AI ecosystem, specialized AI workflows, curriculum standards, assessment design criteria, and healthcare development expertise.

This role blends instructional design, assessment development, AI-assisted production, healthcare curriculum development, psychometric awareness, assessment data literacy, psychology-informed learning design, interactive learning, multimedia development, and rigorous quality control. The person in this role must be able to move across disciplines while bringing required experience in healthcare learning or assessment development.

This person will use custom AI systems to create and revise text pages, assessments, H5P-style interactions, scenarios, simulations, videos, images, feedback, rubrics, and other learning assets. They must be able to determine what type of asset is needed, what cognitive level it should support, how it should be scaffolded, and whether the AI-generated output is accurate, aligned, accessible, instructionally sound, and appropriate for the learner population.

This is not a basic content creation role. The person must be able to guide AI, critique AI, redirect AI, and make expert-level decisions about quality. They must be comfortable reading AI configurations, curriculum maps, objectives, competencies, healthcare standards, style guides, assessment criteria, source materials, and item-performance data, then translating those inputs into high-quality learning experiences.

Responsibilities:

The Learning Experience, Assessment, and Development Specialist is expected to:

• Use a custom curriculum ecosystem and specialized workflows to create, evaluate, and revise instructional and assessment assets.
• Create learning materials across multiple formats, including text pages, videos, images, scenarios, simulations, H5P-style interactions, knowledge checks, case-based activities, branching activities, assessments, feedback, and rubrics.
• Develop assessment items that align to learning objectives, competencies, Bloom’s Taxonomy, course content, and assessment standards.
• Evaluate content for accuracy, alignment, cognitive demand, accessibility, inclusivity, realism, learner readiness, and instructional quality.
• Create and review healthcare learning assets, including healthcare assessments, case scenarios, simulations, patient-centered examples, clinical reasoning activities, and licensure-style assessment items.
• Apply healthcare development expertise to ensure content reflects appropriate terminology, patient-safety logic, scope-of-practice considerations, clinical reasoning, escalation, documentation, prioritization, and professional expectations.
• Support NCLEX-style, licensure-style, certification-style, or competency-based assessment development when assigned to healthcare or regulated programs.
• Interpret basic psychometric indicators, including item difficulty, item discrimination, distractor performance, reliability concerns, validity concerns, cueing patterns, bias, fairness, and construct alignment.
• Create instructional assets that support scaffolded progression from foundational understanding to application, analysis, evaluation, and creation.
• Determine when an objective requires direct instruction, scenario-based practice, H5P-style checkpoints, simulations, multimedia support, discussions, or authentic performance tasks.
• Design H5P-style interactions for Bloom’s Levels 2-3, including multiple choice, drag-and-drop, matching, sequencing, fill-in-the-blank, and checkpoint activities with immediate feedback.
• Design scenario-based and simulation-based learning experiences for Bloom’s Levels 3-6, including decision points, consequences, feedback, scoring logic, and authentic workplace or healthcare contexts.
• Create video scripts, storyboards, shot lists, voiceover drafts, scene directions, and editing notes.
• Create image prompts and evaluate images, diagrams, infographics, and visual assets for instructional value, clarity, accuracy, accessibility, and cognitive load.
• Write clear, student-facing instructional text pages that explain concepts, provide examples, scaffold practice, and prepare learners for assessment.
• Evaluate assessment questions for objective alignment, verb alignment, Bloom’s level, scenario realism, cognitive load, distractor quality, answer-choice parallelism, correct-answer overlap, feedback formatting, recall avoidance, plausibility, exclusivity, accessibility, and inclusivity.
• Revise prompts, provide exemplars, and guide AI tools toward the required structure, tone, reasoning pathway, and output quality.
• Apply curriculum and assessment standards consistently across disciplines while maintaining required healthcare development quality.

Reporting Relationships:

The Learning Experience, Assessment, and Development Specialist will report to the Manager of eLearning and is a part of the Healthcare design and development team.

Requirements:

The Learning Experience, Assessment, and Development Specialist requires:

• Master’s Degree. Specialization: Instructional design, Curriculum and Instruction, Education, Healthcare Education, Learning Sciences, Psychology, Behavioral Health, Nursing Education, or a related field.     
• Experience in healthcare curriculum development, healthcare assessment development, healthcare training, healthcare instructional design, or healthcare learning experience development.
• Experience creating or reviewing healthcare learning assets such as assessments, case scenarios, simulations, competency-based instructional materials, text pages, interactions, videos, or applied learning activities.
• Strong instructional design experience.
• Strong assessment design and item-writing experience.
• Experience using AI tools to create, evaluate, or revise educational content.
• Experience designing online, hybrid, or technology-supported learning experiences.
• Working knowledge of Bloom’s Taxonomy, objective writing, competency alignment, scaffolding, authentic assessment, and feedback design.
• Working knowledge of psychometric principles and the ability to read item-performance data, including item difficulty, discrimination, distractor performance, reliability indicators, validity concerns, bias, and alignment patterns.
• Ability to use assessment data to make informed content and item-revision decisions.
• Working knowledge of healthcare terminology, clinical reasoning, patient safety, scope-of-practice considerations, healthcare workflows, and licensure-style assessment expectations.
• Ability to create learning assets across multiple formats, including text, video, images, interactions, simulations, scenarios, assessments, and feedback.
• Ability to design H5P-style or interactive learning activities.
• Ability to design scenario-based and simulation-based learning experiences.
• Ability to interpret course documents, objectives, competencies, curriculum maps, standards, AI configurations, rubrics, source materials, and item-performance reports.
• Ability to work across disciplines while applying subject-specific standards, terminology, and assessment expectations.
• Ability to evaluate AI-generated content for accuracy, alignment, hallucination, bias, accessibility, cognitive load, and learner readiness.
• Ability to work independently in a judgment-based workflow without relying on a step-by-step job aid.
• Strong writing, editing, visual judgment, and quality-control skills.
