1 week ago

Overview:
The Online Learning Consultant (OLC) project manages course and program development, Extended

Learning projects, and in certain cases University or external projects. In the case of course or program

development, the OLC is the project lead and is responsible for the timely completion of projects. They

work with course author (typically a faculty member) to establish project milestones based on the

expected delivery date of the course, and then ensure that faculty provide the requisite raw course

materials on time and that Centre for Extended Learning (CEL) staff are completing production work.

While the OLC has authority internally, they work in partnership with the author, and exercise no

management authority in that relationship.

This role is contingent upon funding.

  • Coaches the Digital Instructional Media Developers as they interpret and produce the online
course content

  • Updates the Senior Learning Design Manager (and other internal and external stakeholders) on
project progress, and proactively informs them of issues or potential delays

  • Continually monitors research in teaching and learning, and online learning in particular, to
inform/refine evidence-based practices related to course design and delivery

  • Conducts research on course effectiveness; helps design instruments to evaluate course and
course elements; reviews results with faculty

  • Partners with faculty on research projects when appropriate and helps design studies
  • Acts as the principle investigator (PI) in research projects sanctioned by Office of Research
Ethics (designs study, applies for ethics approval, etc.)

  • Analyzes data received from all evaluations and make recommendations to the Associate
Director and/or instructor, as appropriate, about possible improvements

  • Supervises research assistants when applicable
  • Conducts accessibility and usability testing of courses
Consulting and Faculty Development

  • Develops learning opportunities for faculty, sessionals, TAs and staff related to online learning;
independently or in conjunction with internal or external partners

  • Consults with other departments on campus on issues that directly or indirectly relate to online
learning (e.g., Centre for Teaching Excellence, Office of Academic Integrity, etc.)

  • Advises faculty and instructors on effective practices in online teaching and learning
