• Identify and compile anchor research to inform the micro-credential learning experience.
• Identify and develop user-facing sources (e.g., research synthesis documents, protocols, case studies, etc.) that are used to build knowledge within the micro-credential. 
• Develop learning tools (videos, images, templates, graphic organizers, etc.) to embed within the micro-credentials. 
• Present content development progress to internal leads and team members as well as external clients and partners.
• Review and copy edit content. 
• Make revisions based on supervisor, assessor, and client feedback.
