Instructional Technologist position filled

I am happy to announce that the Instructional Technologist position has been filled.  David Soliday has accepted the position and we are developing a transition plan that will allow him to start his new responsibilities in the very near term.  The first items David will be working on include an analysis of the current classroom technologies at OWU as well as a review of our Learning Management Systems (Blackboard and ERes).  David will be working with the appropriate constituents across campus to deliver new services to the OWU faculty.  A search committee will be established to fill the Help Desk Manager and Technology Trainer position that David previously occupied.

I would like to thank the search committee who joined me in this process of selecting OWU’s first Instructional Technologist; committee members were Chris Wolverton, Chair; Melinda Rhodes; Dale Swartzentruber; and Nancy Comorau, as well as those who attended the open forums for the candidates.  Please join me in congratulating David, and do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions or projects where David could be of assistance.
