[Hiring] eLearning Development Lead @Axyde Analytics

Role Description

Axyde Analytics, LLC seeks an experienced eLearning development specialist or production firm for a focused initial assignment supporting our response to the USPTO Patent Examiner Training Program modernization RFI (ACQ-26-9999). Individuals and firms are welcome. This is an Axyde consulting/partner opportunity, not a Government appointment or an awarded production contract.

Initial Assignment

• Review our proposed approach to converting technical/legal classroom content into accessible eLearning.
• Walk through relevant completed CBT conversions and gamified modules, clearly identifying your role and the responsible organization.
• Recommend a practical authoring, accessibility, testing and release workflow; provide a concise capacity and schedule assessment.
• Initial planning estimate: approximately 4–8 hours, with scope and fee agreed in writing before work. Producing new modules is outside this initial assignment and would require a separate agreement.

Qualifications

• At least TWO actual projects converting classroom/instructor-led content into computer-based training (CBT), preferably for technical, legal, regulatory or IP audiences.
• At least TWO completed eLearning modules incorporating gamification. Explain the mechanics, learning objective and how effectiveness was assessed.
• Section 508 accessibility implementation and testing, including keyboard access, assistive-technology support, captions and accessibility conformance documentation.
• SCORM publishing and LMS testing experience. SCORM 2004 and Cornerstone OnDemand experience are especially relevant.
• Ability to identify who owns each example and who may authorize its use. Clearly distinguish your personal work, your firm's work and work performed for a prior employer.

Requirements

• Résumés/CV or firm capability statement with the named lead's résumé.
• Two CBT conversion examples and two gamification examples. For each, identify client/employer, dates, audience, source and final format, responsible organization, your role, deliverables and substantiated results. A project may support both categories if it actually demonstrates both.
• Releasable samples, screenshots, demo links or redacted case summaries, with ownership and sharing permission identified. Do not disclose confidential materials.
• Accessibility testing methods, ACR/VPAT experience, authoring tools and SCORM/LMS examples.
• A reference for relevant work, with permission status for contact. For Government work, provide contract and contracting-officer details if available and releasable.
• Near-term availability and hourly/fixed-fee preference. Firms should identify available production capacity and the proposed lead's actual contribution.

Engagement and Timing

The initial review can be performed remotely; Midlothian, Virginia is Axyde’s administrative base. Prompt applications are encouraged because the RFI response is due September 30, 2026 at 1 p.m. Eastern. Selected consulting work is paid under mutually agreed written terms. No minimum hours or follow-on production volume is guaranteed. Any subsequent work depends on procurement, award, funding, scope and mutual agreement; onsite work would be agreed separately.

The potential future requirement includes at least 25 eLearning conversions within an approximately three-month modernization effort. This posting does not represent that work as already awarded. Any tools and data handling used in delivery must satisfy applicable agency authorization requirements; do not assume a commercial product is approved merely because it supports SCORM.

Application alone does not authorize Axyde to name you, cite your firm or use client work in a Government response. We will obtain specific permission and accurately attribute all experience before external use.
