We are looking to recruit an Online Tutor to join our BA Hons Interior Design (Online) team in the School of Architecture, Design and Interiors. Your role will involve working on a module which is titled ‘Materiality: Surface and Texture’ which is concerned with introducing students to the multi‐layered thinking required to unite material selection with an overall concept to create a visual and aesthetic continuity. Topics covered may include; typical interior materials and finishes, the development of a design language and how this is expressed through the selection and manipulation of materials, materials and finishes boards and specification.
This module content is already recorded, the online tutor leads discussions and reviews students work in weekly tutorials and webinars. Students engage with pre-recorded content that has been created by module leaders in the virtual learning environment and work through this during the week in their own time and come together to meet their online tutor for live sessions.
As the Online Tutor you will deliver live sessions such as webinars and tutorials each week to a global cohort of students. Around these live sessions you will be responsible for pastoral support, and academic guidance via emails, one to ones and an online studio space. You will work closely with the course leader and module leaders to ensure best possible student experience. The hours for this role are flexible and spread throughout the week including weekends as agreed by your line manager. Tutorials take place at the beginning of the week and webinars at the end. The cohort is global so the times of these sessions will alternate am and pm to ensure all can attend. The flexibility of this role means that you can fit the hours around existing responsibilities. The role compliments individuals who have freelance careers or other teaching commitments. Each online tutor is responsible for no more than 30 students, making this an extremely rewarding role.
This is a part-time, 7 hours per week, flexible home-working role, supporting a group of students for 31 weeks per year, starting in May 2023 for 16 weeks until September, and continuing for a further 15 weeks until January 2024 before resuming in May 2024.
