Position Summary

Primary Activities:

The Instructional Technology Consultant responsibilities are necessarily broad and fluid, in order to address HHS priorities and the current rapidly changing environment.

Most commonly, consultants provide teaching and learning support to faculty, adjuncts, TAs, and GAs - often, but not exclusively, involving technology. Areas of support include, but are not limited to, helping to plan, develop, implement, assess, and enhance teaching and learning strategies and materials to ensure strong pedagogy.

To provide quality support, the consultant must maintain currency and share knowledge with instructors in the areas of instructional technology, learning research and theory, and other areas pertinent to teaching and learning in higher education. Consultants must be able to adapt to a range of teaching and learning styles.

The consultant values the teaching and learning enterprise and those engaged in it, collaborates well with others, is organized and flexible, responds quickly, anticipates needs, and possesses excellent communication skills. Additionally, consultants should value the diverse population of HHS, in particular how it relates to the digital divide or other technological obstacles that may impact faculty, adjuncts, TAs, and student success.
