Qualifications

At a minimum, candidates would have a doctorate degree. A strong knowledge of learning theories as they apply to the design, development, and evaluation of technology-based learning environments is also important. Some programs require a high level of computer expertise and experience with current educational software and authoring tools. A research record may also be required.

An academic curriculum vita (CV) varies from that commonly used in corporate environments. It tends to be more extensive and detailed. If unsure about the format, have someone look it over for formatting and editing to best reflect your career achievements and goals.
