Do you enjoy helping teachers use classroom technologies? Are you comfortable using technologies such as Zoom, iClicker, and A/V control units? And, do you have the desire and ability to learn new technologies quickly? The Office of Information Technology is looking to hire several technology copilots. The Technology Copilots help instructors in the classroom (or on Zoom for fully remote classes) facilitate their remote students’ participation as they use academic technologies. Technology Copilots will be paired with instructors for specific classes for the entire semester and work with them to determine how best to meet their needs. This position may require you to be on campus. If the campus goes into remote-only teaching mode, you’ll be working remotely.

Position Duties:

Arrive before the class session to turn on and set up technologies.
Help the instructor use the room’s audio-visual system (connecting to and testing peripherals.)
Connect to and manage the Zoom videoconferencing system, including:
- Communicating with the instructor when students who are attending remotely have questions.
- Assigning and managing breakout rooms.
Clean (sanitize) the equipment (and table surfaces) before and after use.
Attend staff training and meetings as requested.
Be reactive to communications from professors and the rest of the team.

You will be provided with training for the duties of this position. You don’t need to have any technical debugging skills (if a problem occurs with the in-class technology, we’ll contact the Classroom Support team). This is an undergraduate hourly position for up to 20 for hours per week (depending on how many classes you are assigned to), starting at $13 per hour. These positions report to the Manager of the Technology Copilots. The ideal candidate will have:

Strong interpersonal skills.
The ability to work independently and within a team.
Strong verbal and written communication skills.
The ability to learn new technologies quickly.
The ability to facilitate the communication and activities of people who are remote.

Summer Interns Tackle Critical Campus Connection Challenge Anonymous (not verified) Mon, 06/29/2020 - 16:15

Blair Young

This summer, in partnership with the Research and Innovation Office’s (RIO) Innovation and Entrepreneurship team and the College of Arts & Sciences Community Engagement initiative, the ASSETT Innovation Incubator has assembled a team of three undergraduate student interns to design and launch a campus-wide student challenge to tackle the question: How might we creatively use our resources to support meaningful connections within our campus community while physically distancing?

Over a rapid, 10-week period, the interns will design and launch the SKO Together Challenge that invites University of ŷ��ڱ��Ƶ Boulder undergraduate students to imagine ways that they can have a connected campus community experience through a persistent pandemic, no matter how we are living, learning, and working. This virtual challenge will be live in mid-July, and students submitting top ideas will be awarded with funding and mentorship to develop their campus connection concepts throughout fall 2020.

The Student Fellow then provides in-class technical support for the both the faculty member and their students.

Student Fellows are also trained to assist the Visualizing Instructional Practices Service (VIPS) by observing classes to collect objective observation data. Finally, the Student Fellows support the ASSETT mission by helping ASSETT staff with various technology-related projects.

This is an undergraduate hourly position for 8-12 hours per week, starting at $12 per hour.

The ideal candidate will have:

Strong interpersonal skills

The ability to learn new technologies quickly

Having an interest or experience with digital literacy, digital identity (beyond social media), WordPress, and other web publishing tools is a plus.

If you are interested in applying to be a Student Fellow, send your resume and a one-page cover letter explaining why you would make a great Student Fellow to assett@colorado.edu. Applicants selected for an interview will be asked to give a five-minute presentation on a technology of their choice to the current Student Fellows. These positions are open until filled.
