The Center for Instructional Technology (http://cit.duke.edu/) supports the academic mission of Duke University by helping instructors find innovative ways to use technology to achieve their teaching goals. Drawing on expertise in both technology and pedagogy, CIT assists instructors with projects, shares information across the university about effective practices, and examines the effect of technology on teaching and learning. CIT systematically monitors and evaluates the impact and effectiveness of instructional technologies on the teaching and learning experiences of faculty and students and shares these findings with the campus community. The Academic Technology Consultant (ATC) consults with faculty on technologies for their teaching needs. The ATC also plans and runs workshops and information sessions, keeps current on instructional technology trends and local developments, manages pilots of new instructional technologies on campus, and collaborates with other faculty support people on campus to create a streamlined environment for faculty teaching. The ATC will be the prime CIT point of contact for faculty in Duke's language programs but will work broadly on projects with faculty from other disciplines as well. We seek a candidate with: perspective and vision about instructional technology, detailed knowledge of common instructional technologies and how they are applied in campus environments, prior experience "on the ground" supporting the teaching technology needs of faculty, the ability to effectively plan and lead technology projects and investigations involving collaborations with colleagues from across campus, excellent communication skills and the ability and confidence to interact well with faculty, students, administrative staff and department chairs and center directors, the desire to be a collaborative member of a team of excellent staff focused on faculty support and development at our University. In addition to the qualities above, ideally we are seeking a candidate with knowledge of language pedagogy through prior experience supporting language faculty instructional technology needs, being a language faculty member, or thoughtful engagement as a student with pedagogical issues in language teaching and learning.
