Description:
Who We Are
The Office of Academic and Learning Innovation (ALI) is an agile and responsive unit of CU Boulder Online within the Division of Academic Affairs tasked with designing next generation learning experiences that engage the local and global University of Colorado Boulder community. Our mission is three-fold: inspire a re-imagination of instruction and learning, expand access to high-quality learning experiences, and transform higher education for the 21st century. Our work spans innovative on-campus program development, MOOCs, scaled online courses, programs, and degrees, and designing new business and technical processes to support our academic vision.
What Your Key Responsibilities Will Be
- Work directly with faculty as a pedagogical and instructional consultant to design and build student-centered online courses and programs, as well as support the development of technical assessments for code-based learning experiences. Lead maintenance and iteration of existing courses and programs, engaging with student and partner feedback, applying quality assurance methods for continuous improvement, and producing actionable improvement plans.
- Serve as a point of contact regarding course development status for several online post-graduate degree programs, monitor the ongoing development progress of for-credit courses, and communicate updates and concerns as necessary to degree program staff.
- Research and implement established and emergent educational tools and technologies to (1) enhance learning and pedagogical strategy and (2) ensure transformational student learning outcomes.
- Provide mentorship to junior colleagues in learning design and project management. Supervise project assistants, including onboarding, training, distribution and oversight of projects, regular check-ins, and mentorship, when necessary.
- Collaborate with CU Boulder’s Coursera support team and other Coursera partner institutions to optimize platform functionality and ensure that it supports ALI’s pedagogical mission, including playing a significant supporting role in running platform pilots.
- Additional job duties as required, including, but not limited to, hiring, training and supervising student employees. This position will be flexible and responsive to emergent needs and responsibilities.
