In this position, the Course Developer will serve as a subject matter expert and will design and assist in the development of a program that prepares students for entry into a career as a Dental Assistant.  The Course Developer will work directly with the MedCerts Product Development team to optimize the delivery of developed training material and determine which of the “MedCerts 12 Elements of eLearning” will be leveraged to deliver course content in the most meaningful and appropriate way.  He/She will write the scripts to be used in our Instructor-led videos and voiceover course elements for our Dental Assistant training course.  He/She will also prepare questions as needed for assessments throughout the course.  Once the videos and elements are produced, he/she will also review the elements for accuracy and proper presentation of the information.  The Course Developer will work with a highly collaborative team, but will be required to work independently, within the determined timeline.
