This is a temporary contract position that is expected to transition to a permanent full-time employee position within a few months, if the candidate’s skills meet the needs of the company.
Only those interested in an eventual full-time position should apply.
Qualified candidates will be required to submit samples including annotated storyboards, wireframes and interactive prototypes.
Please note: Our client is seeking candidates with Interactive Design experience, such as wireframing, designing or prototyping interactive games, quizzes, animations, CD-ROMs.
Responsibilities of the position include:
• Specifying the usable design of interactive simulations by creating annotated wireframes, storyboards, mockups and prototypes as required
• Designing and specifying all possible interactions and system responses, and communicating ideas clearly and completely, so that developers can easily create the simulations from the specifications
• Monitoring the work of developers and providing feedback to ensure that the finished simulations adhere to the original intent and vision
• Based on the results of pilot tests, making necessary changes to the design and ensuring that developers implement the changes correctly
• Providing guidance and feedback to graphic designers to ensure that graphics used in the simulations are appropriate to the tasks and support the usability of the assessment items
• Applying instructional design principles, usability best practices and knowledge of human cognitive science to ensure that test takers can concentrate on applying the skills necessary to complete the simulations, and not on figuring out how to operate them.
This individual must have:
• At least 3 years experience designing interactive simulations is required. Experience designing simulations for assessment or learning is highly preferred.
• Bachelor’s degree in human-computer interaction, cognitive science, computer science, graphic design or equivalent work experience
• In-depth knowledge of user-centered design techniques and best practices
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to understand, design and communicate a cohesive and consistent end-to-end user experience, beyond just the creation of wireframes
• The ability to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of specific design elements and articulate why a particular approach is best
• Enthusiasm for designing for a wide range of K-12 subject areas, such as science, math, language arts, and social studies, working with subject matter experts
• Strong visual design skills, demonstrating attention to layout, composition, typography, color and content/information design
• Excellent oral and written communication skills and experience interacting with clients, designers, and developers
• Experience conducting user research and/or analyzing user data to inform design decisions
• Proficiency in Visio and Microsoft Office
• Portfolio of interactive design work, including wireframes, screen flows, and examples of on-screen copy and specifications.
