Zeba Khan
@zebakhan1
Instructional Designer and STEM educator crafting modular, skill-aligned courses and multimedia learning experiences that scale with GenAI.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Instructional Designer and STEM educator with 4+ years of experience spanning end-to-end Instructional Design and rigorous Chemistry/Science teaching. I specialize in modular, skill-aligned curriculum development and end-to-end course production, translating complex concepts into pedagogy-driven learning experiences.
In my freelance Learning Design work, I lead learning design for scaled, high-quality Coursera courses—both short- and long-form—while ensuring adherence to rigorous pedagogical standards. I create vendor-ready multimedia video storyboards and sequenced learning journeys, and I use GenAI tools to accelerate content production, build replicable design templates, and streamline prompt/tooling R&D for design efficiency.
I also bring classroom impact to my design decisions: I developed aligned assessments, delivered hands-on learning activities, and achieved strong student outcomes (including 100% pass rates and significant performance gains) through differentiated instruction and learning analytics.
