Instructional Design Manager

The Instructional Design Manager will lead a specified team of instructional designers to provide consultation and support for instructors teaching in the university's fully online programs and PCE portfolio for online course design and course revision. This role will be a partner in managing the portfolio of projects each semester that span programs across the university: assigning instructional designers to work with each Ohio State faculty member, and providing direction and coaching to IDs toward successful consultations and courses that meet the university's online course quality standards. Beyond the course project portfolio, this role also interacts with academic program leaders to advance program instructional and curricular strategies that support online working-adult student enrollment and success. This role engages staff and peers in the creation and ongoing improvement of faculty professional learning opportunities to complement Ohio State Online's high-touch ID and LXD support. This position, in the spirit of continual improvement and agile work, will contribute to refining and implementing the team's work systems and advancing a vision of instructional design as a critical academic function, based on stakeholder feedback, learning analytics and business data, and engagement with professional organizations and emerging knowledge and expertise. This position also includes responsibility for the ongoing professional learning of team members toward core job competencies as well as evolution of skills and knowledge in the changing environment of higher education and technology.

Our goal is to foster a community of professionals with diverse skills, experiences, and backgrounds who actively collaborate to support the Ohio State University mission. We are committed to individual personal and professional growth to achieve their highest potential and support others along the way. In an ever-changing higher education landscape, our employees are flexible, innovative, and adept at developing solutions. The goal of this position is to create technology-empowered learning opportunities and evidence-based programs, courses, and support services consistent with the University's academic plan. This is an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of shaping online program education for one of the largest and best-ranked land-grant universities. This role will help shape how Ohio State delivers education and will impact the world of learners.
