<br>
We're looking for someone with an instructional design background and strong<br>
computer and Web skills to finish off work on a USAID-funded project to develop<br>
online courses in health and development communication. As some of you may<br>
know, OUWB instructional designer Chris Keesey has left Ohio University for<br>
another position and is contractually prohibited from continuing work on the<br>
project. Lifelong Learning/Distance Learning is not (at least for now) hiring<br>
anyone to replace him, so we need to find someone to complete this project.<br>
There's good potential for future work on this and another project.<br>
<br>
Here's my non-technical (but, I hope, reasonably accurate) description of what<br>
needs to be done. The learning architecture is complete. Minor content<br>
revisions are needed for several instructor-facilitated courses. The bulk of<br>
the work will involve placing content and assessment tools into the shells for<br>
six self-paced modules.<br>
<br>
We have funds to employ someone on at least a half-time basis (but preferably<br>
more) starting immediately. We can pay a competitive hourly wage ($40-$50,<br>
depending on ability/experience). This might be a good position for someone who<br>
has recently completed a master's and is looking for a short-term contract. We'd<br>
consider a currently enrolled graduate student, assuming they could make the<br>
time commitment.<br>
<br>
I'm trying to get some more specifics on computer skills from Chris. Please ask<br>
anyone you know who you think may be interested to contact me, David Mould, at<br>
<a href="mailto:mould@ohio.edu">mould@ohio.edu</a> and the Principal Investigator, Rafael Obregon, <a href="mailto:obregon@ohio.edu">obregon@ohio.edu</a>.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
David<br>
