3 months ago
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 PSYC 2041: Introduction to Brain and Behaviour .
Course Description:
Students investigate the neural basis of behaviour. They examine the structure, function, and development of the nervous system, how nerve impulses are generated, and how neurons integrate information to produce behaviour. They explore basic neural mechanisms involved in sensation, perception, feeding, motor control, sleep, emotions, learning, and memory. They also survey neuroscientific research methods used to study the brain and behaviour in healthy and clinical populations. With this foundational understanding of the neural basis of behaviour students are prepared for further study in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, healthcare, research, education, and more.
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.
- Create multimedia or other active learning activities to ensure student engagement through experiential learning.
- 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 ()

The successful candidate will be selected on the basis of the following criteria:
- PhD in psychology or behavioural neuroscience is required, with a preference for a biological psychology or behavioural neuroscience PhD thesis.
