eLearning Developer

An eLearning developer is a very specific type of corporate training consultant who designs and builds engaging, interactive digital learning experiences that support knowledge transfer and performance improvement. These professionals work closely with instructional designers, learning experience designers, subject matter experts (SMEs), and project stakeholders to bring training content to life using authoring tools such as Articulate Storyline, Rise, Adobe Captivate, and Vyond, among others.

In corporate learning environments, eLearning developers play a crucial role in transforming instructor-led training (ILT) into scalable, self-paced online learning modules that are accessible, measurable, and aligned with business objectives. They apply adult learning principles, accessibility standards, and often integrate learning management system (LMS) requirements, SCORM/xAPI compliance, and custom branding.

Top eLearning developers combine technical expertise with creative storytelling, visual design, and user experience (UX) awareness to ensure that digital training is not only effective but also engaging and intuitive.

When you have more projects than people™, let TrainingPros provide you with the right consultant to start your project with confidence.
