Job Description

The Independent Institute of Education (The IIE) is a registered private higher education provider and a wholly owned subsidiary of ADvTECH Ltd, listed on the JSE.

The IIE's - Academic Centre of Excellence (ACE) is the custodian of academic quality, educational technology, and governance across the institution. It leads academic strategy, compliance, and operational integrity through robust governance structures.

The current ACE is in the process of being repositioned as a Centre of Excellence, a hub for academic innovation, staff capacity building, quality assurance, and governance across both the schools and tertiary divisions.

As we reposition ACE, we are excited to invite applications for the role of Instructional Designer (ID). Based at The IIE's head office in Sandton, this role will support the Digital Learning & Design Team department.

This process includes developing storyboards, scripts, and activity guides for multimedia and online courses, integrating emerging tools, technologies, and learning theories into course designs, and conducting usability reviews and revisions based on student feedback and learning analytics. In contrast, a Learning Technologist (LT) primarily concentrates on the integration of technology into learning environments.
