Posting Number: req18193

Department: Management and Organizations

Address: 1130 E Helen St., Tucson, AZ 85721 USA

Position Highlights

The Management and Organizations Department is seeking course facilitators to support faculty members teaching on-campus and online courses. Course facilitators improve the student experience by assisting course instructors with tasks such as providing timely responses to student questions, grading assignments, holding virtual office hours, monitoring discussion boards, and entering grades in a learning management system (LMS).

Management and Organizations offers top quality education programs and support services, including a focus on critical thinking and business ethics, attracting and graduating an excellent and diverse student body who enjoys productive and successful careers.

Based on the needs of the department, facilitators may also be invited to facilitate additional courses; additional courses may overlap by prior arrangement between the department and facilitator. Facilitators will be hired from this posting for multiple course sessions including Fall, Spring, and Summer with start dates aligning with the course assignments.

Facilitators are also expected to provide their own computing devices and have reliable high-speed access to internet to work from other locations. No special software will be required; although the device(s) must be capable of accessing the LMS, Microsoft and Adobe applications, and using virtual conferencing software.

This position requires the employee to be regionally based in Arizona.
