I have a contract opportunity for someone to develop classroom training materials for a software product. There are a few unknowns about the role; especially, I don't know how long it will last. But I can say that the client wants to fill the role yesterday. It's a full-time role, and will certainly run into January. The product is web-based, using Java Server Pages in a J2EE environment. The client is US-owned, and the job is in North Sydney, on-site. The instructional design will be done by people in the US, but that doesn't preclude someone with the right skills being able to participate in the design work. Mostly, though, the job entails implementing the design provided. To repeat: the materials are for classroom training, not on-line training. The client wants to strike a daily rather than an hourly rate; the budget seems fairly flexible -- quality comes before price. If you are available immediately, and meet the following "person spec", send me your details (including daily rate expectations -- be realistic, and give me a minimum figure rather than a flying kite; I'll try to get the best rate I can, but I need to know when to say "don't bother".) I apologise for the tool-specific nature of some of the details; the client is anxious to avoid "local formatting" problems caused by inexperience (or ineptitude!) with MS Word. Skills: Mandatory - Ability to interview SMEs (developers) to obtain information for subsequent restructuring and rewriting; Ability to structure information according to action sequences (task-oriented design); Ability to express information according to audience background, knowledge, and experience. Desirable - Ability to read (and, to a limited extent, write) Java code for JSPs Experience: Mandatory - Development of presentation materials (using a product such as MS PowerPoint) and printed materials (using a product such as MS Word) Use of client-supplied MS Word templates, including use of styles rather than local formatting Desirable - Instructional design Development of support materials for classroom-based training Michael Lewis -------------------------------------- Brandle Pty Limited, Sydney, Australia www.brandle.com.au -------------------------------------- ************************************************** To post a message to austechwriter, send the message to austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe to austechwriter, send a message to austechwriter-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with "subscribe" in the Subject field.
