Brief description of the project:
Thompson Rivers University, Open Learning (TRU-OL) is looking for a qualified content expert/curriculum developer to complete a major revision of COMP 2231: Data Structures and Algorithms .
Course Description:
Students are introduced to new types of data structures such as trees (including binary and multiway trees), heaps, stacks and queues. Students also design new algorithms for each data structure studied, create and perform simple operations on graph data structures, describe and implement common algorithms for working with advanced data structures, and recognize which data structure is the most appropriate for solving a particular problem.
Course Development Process:
The course developer will work under the guidance of the Instructional Designer responsible for the course development project, and in collaboration with the course development team will:
- Participate in brainstorming and planning sessions.
- Develop a detailed framework (or blueprint) for the course which includes relevant learning outcomes, learning activities, and assessments appropriate for an online continuous entry course.
- Revise and/or develop content, including learning activities and authentic assessments to ensure that they are relevant and appropriate for an online continuous entry course.

- Choose effective and appropriate resources, ideally digital, and prioritize low-cost and accessible options, such as Open Educational Resources (OERs), TRU’s e-Library collection and article databases, and other accessible material and media. TRU respects intellectual property laws and expects curriculum developers to accurately cite sources and identify material that may require copyright clearance. They will follow the guidance of the Instructional Designer on the inclusion of any AI-generated content.
TRU-OL uses a collaborative approach to course development that involves interactive planning meetings and review sessions as needed.
Expectations:
- Meet the deliverables according to the agreed-upon timeline.
- Respond to project-related communication and meeting requests in a timely manner (within 48 hours).
- All team members will provide feedback that is
- constructive and relevant, and
- centered on course content and learning activities.
- Participate in post-development contract evaluation.
- Communicate in a professional and respectful way in accordance with TRU Policy Number BRD 17-0: RESPECTFUL WORKPLACE AND HARASSMENT PREVENTION ()
