Content Specialist for E-learning.Well … today I was offered the post of Content Specialist. Whether to join in or not is what is plagueing me. What is Content Specialist ? What does that mean ?? Well .. It means that if you develop software – in particular E-Learning n you can’t find the information you need, or say you need more information on a particular topic, then lemme know may be i can help you.
My job will be to write, edit, produce, and maintain within established timeframes and standards of quality and accuracy electronic and/or printed documentation for clients and staff.I ll have to design and create user documentation using both web and printed formats, develop and implement standards and procedures for end-user documentation preparation and publication, assist with planning and scheduling, and participate in software release team efforts and in testing user interfaces.
I’m gonna be your interface to question the excellent team of program writers helping them set priorities, by suggesting content and giving them feedback, and planning an overall documentation strategy… am goin to be the one asking you, what information you need, and how you want it to be told to others or in public.
I’m going to be annoying everyone by poking around, asking questions, trying to tweak things, trying out new ideas and usually making a nuisance of myself n get away telling everyone
" I’m doing it on your behalf."
Interesting isn't it … yep it is.
Well on to the real taste of it .. it asks a lotta hardwork .. I need to master central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structure of the disciplines of communication, mantaining currency in knowledge of the content area and skills of the same. tis gonna be a tough job… understanding major concepts, making assumptions, debates, processes of inquiry, of how student's world can influence their understanding and ways of knowing that are central to all disciplines, preparing our technical team for the global student community. The challenge coerced needs to be won by recognising multiple perspectives, conveying to learners how knowledge is developed from the vantage point of the knower.
The whole process of how the application of learning is useful, creating enthusiasm for all n how it connects in day to day life.
