• Assist with troubleshooting LMS-related issues, including sync errors, code verification, user roles, and data inconsistencies.
• Provide light instructional design support (in coordination with the Instructional Designer) such as aligning course objectives with assessments, rubrics, and basic course structure.
• Support media creation and accessibility compliance, including captioning, file formatting, use of accessibility tools, and Universal Design for Learning principles.
• Coordinate communication with faculty regarding LMS policy compliance (e.g., publishing deadlines, incomplete setup).
• Serve as a technical lead in resolving LMS and tool-related support escalations in coordination with Technology Services and vendors.
• Assist with circulation, maintenance, or setup of classroom media and instructional technology tools when needed.
• Collaborate with other Center for Teaching and Learning and instructional staff to build faculty capacity through onboarding, workshops, and targeted support.
