ID Jobs with Advanced Business Learning

IDT Memphis
Advanced Business Learning (http://www.advancedbusinesslearning.com/) has a contract with the Naval Base in Millington and are looking for full time instructional designers. They will need 1-2 Sr. instructional designers, 3-4 instructional designers, 1 project manager, and 1 graphics/desktop publishing person. The contract is for one year (because the military requires renewals after each year) and they anticipate it will be longer. Those hired will work on base or possibly remotely. Contracts begin September 23, but they want to interview/hire now because security clearance is required and that could take several months.

Research Participants Wanted

IDT Memphis
 
        Dr. Peter Rich, Becca Thomas (a graduate student) and myself would like to invite you to participate in our study on “The Effectiveness of Alternative Dissertation Models in Graduate Education” by taking the survey linked below. As an incentive, each person who completes the survey, which should only take about 15 minutes, will be entered into a raffle with a 10% chance of winning a $20 Visa gift card.In this study, we are surveying current students, alumni, faculty, and administrators of Instructional Technology programs who have completed either traditional or alternative dissertations. We hope to investigate the usefulness, benefits, and challenges of alternative dissertation formats, so we can help departments make informed decisions about pursuing alternative dissertation formats and help students in the field complete alternative dissertations more effectively.

This survey is an updated version of a survey we sent out in 2010. If you completed the 2010 survey and would like a summary report of our findings, please email us and we will happily send your our summary report.
