There do not appear to be any instructional designers or learning scientists or faculty developers working with Khan Academy, Udacity, or Coursera. The closest is a 'course operations specialist' for Coursera: "As part of this multi-faceted role, you will train our teaching staff to produce video lectures". It's all just lecture videos.
