    DUTIES

    Students explore the practices and responsibilities of the citizen and the consumer in the context of networked culture, considering ways in which these roles are defined and distinguished in digital space. Particular focus is placed on the question of control over access to knowledge and information and on the interdependence of social participation and surveillance through digital platforms. As well, students explore methods and models for citizen activism and civic engagement through networked platforms. Students learn to engage the inherent contradictions and tensions within these issues as they focus on how keywords are deployed within a variety of cultural narratives.

    Open Learning Faculty Members are teaching staff in the Open Learning division of TRU, and the role of the Open Learning Faculty Member is to actively encourage, support and guide students toward success in their academic studies. Open Learning Faculty Members must be skilled in teaching, fully knowledgeable of the subject matter and demonstrate a positive, open and caring attitude in all interaction with students.

    • Administrative set up and record keeping
    • Initiating and maintaining regular contact with the student as specified in the collective agreement
    • Responding to all student queries by phone, e-mail or other method as appropriate within the time frame outlined in the collective agreement.
    • Marking all assignments, posting results, and providing prompt feedback
    • Marking exams and posting results

    We anticipate 20-40 students in this course per year. These numbers are only estimates and actual numbers for the course may be greater or less than the estimated numbers.

    QUALIFICATIONS

    We are looking for candidates with a PhD in a relevant discipline, recent academic experience in the subject area, and documented excellence in helping students achieve their goals regarding this field. In addition to excellent verbal and written communication skills, the preferred candidates will have demonstrated skills and abilities in distance education.

    • Have demonstrated skills and abilities in the delivery of flexible learning materials, the application of instructional technology and in the application of adult learning principles

    The pay for Open Learning Faculty Members varies based on several factors including the number of students in the course, the type of work, the type of course and the number of assessments completed by students in the course.
