Senior HyFlex Learning Designer

The Senior HyFlex Learning Designer is responsible for partnering with faculties to transform teaching, learning and assessment through evidence-based learning design, HyFlex, Agentic AI, personalised learning and emerging educational technologies. The role works closely with academics to redesign modules, integrate active learning pedagogies, develop AI-enabled learning experiences, and enhance student engagement across the complete One Learning Arc (before, during and after class). He/she also contributes to institutional innovation, faculty capability development and continuous improvement through learning analytics, educational research and scalable learning design frameworks.

KEY RESULT AREAS / RESPONSIBILITIES

• Partner with schools and faculties to redesign modules using HyFlex principles, active learning pedagogies, and AI-enhanced learning experiences that improve student engagement and learning outcomes.

• Collaborate closely with discipline experts to design learner-centred experiences, translating programme learning outcomes into effective learning activities, formative assessments, and authentic learning journeys.

• Design and develop faculty-specific HyFlex learning frameworks, templates, and learning pathways.

• Design learning activities and assessments that appropriately integrate Agentic AI to support preparation, practice, feedback, reflection, and personalised learning.

• Develop and implement AI-supported formative assessment strategies, including adaptive learning activities, reflective learning, case variations, oral defence preparation, and personalised feedback approaches.

• Advise and support academics in the responsible, ethical, and effective use of AI technologies in teaching, learning, and assessment, in accordance with institutional policies and best practices.

• Design learning experiences that effectively incorporate active learning pedagogies such as Project-Based Learning, Team-Based Learning (TBL), Problem-Based Learning (PBL), Case-Based Learning, Clinical Simulation, Lab-Based Learning, Studio-Based Learning, and other discipline-specific approaches.

• Review and continuously enhance existing modules and learning experiences using student feedback, learning analytics, educational research, and evidence-informed practice to improve learning effectiveness and student success.

• Collaborate with Taylor's Digital to leverage learning technologies, AI platforms, and digital learning tools, and contribute to interpreting learning analytics and recommending improvements to learning design.

• Identify opportunities to improve student engagement, participation, and personalised learning by analysing learning data and recommending appropriate pedagogical interventions.

• Support the Head of e-Learning Academy in developing reusable learning design resources, HyFlex templates, AI implementation guides, and best practice exemplars to support consistent adoption across faculties.

• Conduct academic consultations, workshops, and capability-building programmes to strengthen staff competency in HyFlex learning, active learning pedagogies, AI-enhanced teaching, and assessment transformation.

• Perform other duties and responsibilities as assigned by the Head of e-Learning Academy or higher management.
