<div dir="ltr">Hello Zachary, thanks for your interest. Here are some details about what we're looking for:<div><br><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">The position involves working directly with faculty (at a
distance) to both diagnose and repair accessibility issues in online courses.
In some cases the job will include teaching faculty how to do simple things on
their own, and in other cases the job will involve a complete audit and lots of
repairing and converting into alternate formats. You will be provided with a
license for the Zoom web meeting tool to enable you to meet with faculty and
teach/work with them, and you will be required to work within Canvas to create
and/or store the digital learning objects you make as alternate formats.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">In essence, the assignment involves you working with
a faculty member to determine their preferences for some basic formatting
issues and workflow considerations, and then you work your way through the
entire course from the beginning to the end. On the way, diagnose all of the
content and activities for accessibility, and make an inventory of any content
that needs to be repaired or converted to a different format.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">We try to not alter the visual layout or to alter
anything at all in terms of aesthetics, but in some rare cases we will have to
work with faculty to make changes at a design level. Most of the time though,
these are courses that have already been vetted for quality and pedagogy, so we
try not to change anything if possible, other than ensuring the accessibility.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">The work requires a wide knowledge of digital formats
and their corresponding access strategies, as well as the ability to assess the
accessibility of web technologies used in online courses.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">The position is a temporary contract position, not to
exceed 188 days per fiscal year, which is not an issue for this year ending on
June 30, but would be a limitation in the 2017-18 academic year.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">The pay is $45 per hour, and we need someone who can
put in approx 40 hours per week, but you can work according to your schedule.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="background-image:initial;background-position:initial;background-size:initial;background-repeat:initial;background-origin:initial;background-clip:initial">I hope this helps, but please let me know if you have
any other specific questions.</span><br>
