Description: Department Liaison, MIT OpenCourseWare<br>
Department Liaisons support the publication of materials from MIT's
various departments, as well as building and maintaining relationships
across the Institute. They assist faculty with the development or
compilation of course materials for MIT OCW. This may include
development of new materials for teaching purposes, by working with
the faculty in classes to create content. It may also involve creating
materials for use in digital learning systems such as Stellar or
SloanSpace. For courses already in electronic form, this position will
require the collection and assembly of any materials that are input
into the MIT OCW production process, along with the research of
citations and ownership for copyrighted objects. Department Liaisons
serve as a key link throughout the course site production process
between MIT faculty and MIT OCW. The position also entails other work,
such as the design and implementation of special projects, file
organization, site design and creation, and quality assurance. This is
a renewable one-year position, July 2007 to June 2008, with the
possibility of extension. The salary begins at
$40,000.</font></blockquote>
