About the Role
CAP Law Online is the eLearning division of Carolina Academic Press, supporting online legal education for law schools across the country.
The Course Production Specialist is a hands-on production role supporting our instructional designers. You will be responsible for building and maintaining online courses in Canvas and Brightspace, conducting quality reviews, ensuring accessibility compliance, and handling the day-to-day production tasks that keep course delivery running smoothly.
This is not an instructional design role; it's a production and quality-execution role for someone who takes pride in attention to detail, consistency, and throughput. You will be the person instructional designers and team leads rely on to take polished content and get it into the LMS accurately and on time. You catch errors before they reach students, build courses that look and work exactly as designed, flag problems clearly, and keep your queue moving without hand-holding.
