• Oversee the implementation of mandatory student units and support students as needed.
• Support the Manager, Learning and Academic Skills in our partnership with and strategic direction of the 24/7 online support service (Studiosity) through monitoring uptake, trends and student feedback, and providing advice on its future direction.­

What we’re looking for:

• A relevant tertiary qualification in Education/Education Technology or relevant field, with subsequent workplace application, or an equivalent combination of relevant experience, education and/or training.
• Proven expertise in leading the design and implementation of institution-wide online learning initiatives, with a strong understanding of digital pedagogy, learning analytics, and inclusive design principles.
• Experience in supporting student learning development in a range of face-to-face and online environments.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal, negotiation and presentation skills to relate to colleagues and other stakeholders.
• Advanced project and change management skills, with a track record of delivering complex, multi-stakeholder digital learning projects on time and within scope.
