Whoa!

I’ve never actually seen "Instructional Technologist" as a title, for real. But that’s what’s in my degree, and what I put on my portfolio, almost tongue-in-cheek… annnnd, today, in the paper:

Data Specialist / Instructional Technologist

       


Full-time position in the Registrar’s Office responsible for transcript
analysis and recording student transfer credits into CAMS system.
Perform data entry of mid-term and final grades, execute reports to
faculty and staff. Process graduate petition requests, diploma orders,
establish and maintain course offering schedules and process academic
status-related documentation in a timely manner. Set up new user
accounts in CAMS and provide training workshops for faculty and staff.
Develop customized reports utilizing SQL, as needed. Establish and
update Student/Faculty web based portal and troubleshoot moderate
technical issues. Develop e-portfolio, laptop instruction for student
cohort groups. Minimum Bachelor’s degree required. HTML, SQL,
proficiency in MS Office, CAMS system software desired but will train.
2 years business and/or computer applications experience, preferably in
a higher education institute.

Whoa! From what I know, CAMS is student info management (UM has DSIS), which, I can figure that out with a day or two…. and I don’t have SQL, but "as needed" gives me confidence that that’s not a huge deal, and it’s not the director position, so there’s someone else that knows what’s up with that. And seriously, e-portfolio? How many applicants will actually *have* an e-portfolio, online, with the URL on the resume? No, seriously? How many? Most of the IT grads don’t keep their portfolios when they are done (and they are generally kind of lame to begin with, I really bucked tradition by self hosting under my own name, but THIS is exactly why I did that.)  No idea of salary, not sure on the experience part, but, whatever. I’m an Instructional Technologist and the local private college needs an Instructional Technologist.  And I bet it would at least cover daycare costs…..
