　　A day in the life

　　Every day is a new adventure! You are assigned to work on a specific course or set of courses. The technology you'll work with will vary based on the course subject matter.

You will document the steps required to complete the lab, including explanations. As you build labs for a course, you will collaborate with Technical Architects, Instructional Designers, and Curriculum Developers to ensure the instructional content and the labs are aligned.
