At my school, these folks go by the title of instructional designer. At some places they are called learning designers.
According to the MIT report, a learning engineer:
“…. is a creative professional who helps build bridges between fields of education and develops additional infrastructure to help teachers teach and students learn”.
“….must integrate their knowledge of a discipline with broad understanding of advanced principles from across the fields of education”.
“…must be familiar with state-of-the-art educational technologies, from commercial software to open-source tools, and skilled in the effective use of new online tools.”
“…must be able to work with educators, both to create new learning experiences from scratch and to integrate new technologies and approaches into existing experiences, whether online or in-person or both.”
