Additionally, excellent organizational skills are required to track course assets, tool licenses, and file storage.

Other duties include exploring and evaluating promising new teaching and learning technologies. Project management experience managing projects formally or informally will be increasingly important as the hybrid and online continuing education initiatives in SHRS grow.
