Lead Learning Experience (LX) Designer, McGraw-Hill Higher Education

This position keeps evolving. It's great to get to keep re-inventing yourself without moving to another company. I am continuing to research and write, to consult with higher education leaders, and to design solutions to learning problems. I get to develop proofs of concept, advance the cause of competency based learning, and specify curriculum designs in the mix. The title change is due to the fact that though my position entails a lot of instructional design expertise, what I do is a lot different than others in the company with the title Senior Instructional Designer. I think the change is warranted...
