This position is responsible for maintaining a historical record of course information in a shared database, including the scope and nature of course revisions. The OLQAS is also involved in conducting summative evaluations with the intent of recommending and implementing instructional design enhancements to improve the teaching and learning experience. Given exposure across a wide variety of online courses, the OLQAS identifies and documents best practices that exist in current courses that may be transferable to other offerings. As required, the incumbent of this position assesses, applies, conducts and disseminates research findings in quality assurance in online learning and distance education, prepares research proposals, and participates in funded research and development programs.

Requirements of the position include a Master's degree in a related field (Distance Education, Educational technology, Instructional Design, Adult Education) and several years of related experience or an equivalent combination of education and experience; demonstrated expertise in instructional design, pedagogy, online distance education, instructional technology, adult education, course design, and evaluation; excellent communication skills (visual, written and oral), editing and proofreading skills, organizational, time management and interpersonal skills required; strong computer and word processing skills and familiarity with Learning Management Systems. Must have an attention to detail, be able to quickly adapt to changing technologies, work well under pressure, work independently and participate actively on a team.
