<p>Dear Dr. Franklin:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am hoping you might be able to assist me in filling a new vacancy for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Instructional Design & Technology at West Texas A&M University in Amarillo, Texas.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are a different kettle of fish. We are deeply committed to transferring practical marketable skills to our students in our terminal M.Ed program. A large percentage of our students live and work entirely outside the K-12 world.<br>
<br>
97% of our students <u>do not</u> go on to a PhD. Most of our students are working professionals and many are already Web designers, computer trainers, adult educators, etc. Their interest in theoretical constructs and supporting research could be charitably
described as modest. What they are interested in is skill expansion.<br>
<br>
So the core competences that we require of the new faculty member will be engineer-level skills in Adobe applications such as Dreamweaver, Captivate, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, as well as artistic talent in graphic design. Someone with years of paid
experience as a Senior Instructional Designer of online learning objects would be perfect.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here is the link to the job description: <a href="https://jobs.wtamu.edu/applicants/jsp/shared/frameset/Frameset.jsp?time=1401310669798" target="_blank">
https://jobs.wtamu.edu/applicants/jsp/shared/frameset/Frameset.jsp?time=1401310669798</a> and I would be happy to visit with you on the phone if you have questions about this position. I have also attached a copy of the announcement.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This job is clearly not for the more research- and theory-oriented scholars, but for a ID practitioner with a PhD, it might well be their dream job.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Many thanks,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Dr. Rich Rose</p>
<p>Associate Professor</p>
<p>Program Chair</p>
<p>Instructional Design & Technology</p>
<p>West Texas A&M University</p>
