The University of Richmond invites applicants for the position of  
Director for Teaching, Learning and Technology. This position reports  
to the vice president for information services and works closely with  
the deans and academic administration. The director is a key member  
of the Information Services management team, providing vision and  
leadership in the development and delivery of strategic educational  
resources.

The director serves as the senior administrator for the Center for  
Teaching, Learning and Technology (CTLT) at the University of  
Richmond. The Center is a resource for faculty, students, and staff.  
It serves as a focal point for the examination and discussion of  
pedagogy and the effective use of technology in teaching and  
learning. The director works with staff and administration to design  
and implement programs and resources for faculty, departments and  
schools. The CTLT will promote an understanding of teaching and  
learning by assisting both individuals and groups of faculty as they  
reflect and analyze information about teaching and how it impacts  
student learning. The director will work with CTLT staff and others  
to devise effective methods to build faculty awareness of what  
technologies and tools are available to them at the University.

Within the CTLT, the director oversees the Academic Technology  
Services (ATS) liaison group and the lab support team. The ATS  
liaisons assist faculty with the design, development and delivery of  
high-quality instruction. They provide direct consultation with  
faculty on all aspects of instructional design, helping faculty to  
determine the best pedagogical tools and techniques for use with  
their students.
The lab support team manages all the equipment and software in  
classrooms, labs, and other learning spaces on campus. They ensure  
that faculty and students have access to the tools they need for  
teaching, learning, and research in a reliable, stable, and secure  
environment. This includes the ongoing maintenance and development of  
equipment and software in the Technology Learning Center where  
faculty may explore, experiment and receive expert assistance.
The Center staff will assist faculty with using new technologies,  
exploring the pedagogical uses of specific technologies, and  
identifying technologies that will have the potential to improve  
teaching, learning and research. The director will work with CTLT  
staff and others to devise effective methods to build faculty  
awareness of what technologies and resources are available to them at  
the University. The TLC also provides students with a multimedia  
laboratory for classroom and research project development and  
presentation.
