[Our HR folks got this out rather late, so we're extending the "date to
be assured consideration" to Friday, Oct 6.  If you, or someone you
know, is interested in working at a great university with some awesome
instructional technology professionals, please consider applying.  Also,
the job posting indicates an Oct 1 start date, but that's obviously
impossible, and certainly negotiable.]

Our department, L&S Learning Support Services at the University of
Wisconsin Madison, is seeking a qualified individual as an
Instructional
Technology Consultant (Information Processing Consultant).   Our
department provides general instructional technology support for
Letters
& Science, with a large number of our clients coming from language
departments.

Here is a basic summary.  The full job description and application
process can be found at
http://babel.lss.wisc.edu/aboutlss/ipcmedia54492.pdf   Feel free to
contact me directly if you have questions, or know of candidates who
might be interested.

Summary:

Minimum number of years and type of relevant work experience:
At least two years experience in the following areas: instructional
design and application of instructional technology at the
post-secondary
level; media production (video, audio, multimedia, web-based);
management of production projects; videoconferencing; current software
applications, especially those used in an academic setting (course
management systems, presentation software, video and audio production
tools); online and distance education.

Principal duties:
The Instructional Technology Consultant works within the Department of
Learning Support Services (LSS) within the College of Letters &
Science,
to support the effective use of instructional technologies for
teaching
and learning. The consultant provides expert advice to faculty and
instructional staff, and instructional technology support staff. The
consultant works to promote increased understanding of and support for
the use of these technologies across the College - with individual
faculty, faculty groups, departments, professional degree and
certificate programs, and with other academic groups and initiatives.
The consultant provides initial assistance to faculty, instructional
design advice, instructional support services, and monitors emerging
technologies in teaching and learning to determine appropriate use in
education. The consultant must be able to work cooperatively within
teams, help plan and set priorities for the department's activities,
and
collaborate effectively with campus groups. Because LSS is a
relatively
small department, other duties will include helping with and/or
directing audio, video, and online production projects, and
collaborating with other LSS staff in managing LSS facilities and
programs.
