LDs at King’s play a crucial role in shaping the learning experience of our students, working collaboratively with academics to ensure that the content is presented in a clear and memorable way, with meaningful interaction to prepare students for success on their course and in their careers. The role holder will need to be an excellent communicator who enjoys working in a fast-paced environment and is able to work on several projects at once, often dealing with short notice requests for content design and development.

We are looking for someone who can confidently use e-learning creation tools, especially Moodle, and who has a sound understanding of pedagogical theory and evidence.

Work will include but not be limited to creating media assets, inputting new information on to KEATS and ensuring the accessibility of content in line with King’s College London regulations and wider standards.

E-Learning Assistance

The post holder will ensure accuracy and inclusivity of all content by developing transcripts, subtitles and captions for all developed content. Proof reading is also a vital part of this aspect of the role.

The School of Security Studies is part of the Faculty of Social Science and Public Policy, and includes the Defence Studies Department, the Department of War Studies, and the King’s Institute for Applied Security Studies (KIASS).
