UX Designer

NovoEd builds Web and mobile applications for creating effective and engaging online learning experiences. Online learning continues to be a lonely experience. We believe that online learning is more effective with opportunities to collaborate, provide and receive feedback, receive coaching from experts and learn from peers similar to an in-person workshop. Our technology enables the creation and delivery of engaging global learning experiences that lead to sustainable behavior change and enable business transformation.

Based in San Francisco, CA, we have the autonomy and fast-paced nature of a startup. We serve organizations around the world that need a better way to teach online – whether it’s corporate learning and development, training firms, or executive education.
