DESCRIPTION

The Warner School at the University of Rochester welcomes applicants for an Adjunct Instructor position. The appointment begins August 25, 2025 and ends December 17, 2025. This is a short-term position and will teach “EDE 484 - Online Teaching and Learning”, “EDF 488 - Practicum in Online Teaching”, and “ED 528 - Using Quantitative Data Analysis Software” for the Fall 2025 academic session.
Course Descriptions:
EDE 484-1 - Online Teaching and Learning (3 credit) - Provides masters-level and doctoral-level students with an introduction to the theory and practice of online teaching and learning, with a focus on higher education and professional development. Students in this course will have the opportunity to personally experience various forms of online learning, and use these shared experiences to examine the potential and limitations of each for diverse learners; they will benefit from the wisdom of practice shared by a number of guest speakers who have engaged in various forms of online teaching; and they will also learn from developing an applied project around online teaching that links theory with practice. By the end of this course students will have a foundation for designing and delivering online learning modules in a way that supports student engagement, student reflection, and active instructor involvement.
EDF 488-1 - Practicum in Online Teaching (3 credit) - Provides students in the master’s or certificate program in online teaching with a mentored experience that allows them to put into practice what they’ve learned in previous coursework about online teaching. More specifically, students engaging in this practicum experience will be responsible for various aspects of online teaching, in authentic contexts (i.e., real courses/professional development offerings) and with ongoing support provided by a mentor. Students will also produce a number of artifacts related to this experience that will serve as evidence of their proficiency with specific aspects of online teaching.
ED 528 - Using Quantitative Data Analysis Software (1 credit) - Introduces students to statistical analysis software. Through hands-on opportunities on the computer, students learn how to import and transform quantitative data sets. The course frequently focuses on SPSS software, allowing students the opportunity to modify data files, conduct basic statistical analysis, and create charts and graphs. Occasionally the course will focus on other software (see course title on the schedule for clarification). Open to students at all points in their academic programs. Course does not cover the concepts and mechanics taught in ED 504.
