What are your key responsibilities?
I'm part of Keypath's learning design and development team. My main duties are creating modern, responsive, and accessible "interactives" or interactive online learning elements that any and all students will enjoy and engage with. Web standards, web accessibility, and innovation are very important aspects of my job.
What kind of skills do you need to be a Web Developer?
Typical HTML/CSS and Javascript are must-have skills. The ability to teach yourself is also crucial but, most of all, you need to be able to problem-solve. Other small skills are needed too such as DevOps, photoshop, and design. This role supports our Instructional Designers as they work collaboratively with university faculty to create engaging online degree courses.
