As Rice University moves to dual delivery this fall, we are adding techn= ology (microphones, monitors, cameras) to existing classrooms in order to b= ring the remote students into the classroom. This will allow the stud= ents in class to be able to interact with the remote students and vice vers= a. Although the additional equipment is not complicated to use, instructors= will need to make sure it is setup properly so everyone can participate in= class. Faculty will be able to opt in to have a Technology TA and th= ey will be able to choose whether the TA assists them in the beginning of c= lass to get setup or helps throughout the class. In addition, we are hiring to fill on call positions in bu= ildings. An on call Tech TA will be located in a building and be available = to assist faculty as needed. You will not be assigned one specific faculty = member but will be available to academic classes in the building.
Any undergraduate student that is comfortable with computers. You do not= need to be super technical, just comfortable with using a computer.
What will I be doing?
You will be helping the instructor log into Zoom and making sure that th= e camera is set for how the faculty wishes to teach and that the monitor an= d cart are showing what the faculty wants it to show. You will be helping m= ake sure the instructor is setup and the remote students can participate.= p>
What Technology TAs can do:
-Help faculty log into Zoom and make sur= e it=E2=80=99s recording
-Help faculty make sure cameras are set = for how they plan to use them that day
-Make sure additional monitor shows Zoom= gallery of remote students
-Monitor chat if requested by faculty me= mber
-Point of contact for remote students wi= th questions
-Trouble shoot AV issues
What Technology TAs can=E2=80=99= t do:
-Take attendance
-Monitor students in a classroom = span>
-Take on the role of an instructor
How many hours will I be requ= ired to work?
Classes are Monday - Friday 8 am - 10 pm. We will need all hours covered= based on faculty requests. You will sign up for class time shifts, which a= re roughly 1 hour MWF and 1.5 hours TTh. The shifts will follow the c= lass times. We will need students all over campus. You can sign up for more= than 1 continuous shift if you want and you can sign up for up to 20 hours= per week.
Will I be paid?
Yes. Technology TAs will be paid $12 per hour. Since you will be s= cheduled in approximately 1 hour time blocks, you will be paid for the full= hour even if you only assist during the first part of the class. You will = be expected to be nearby (in the same building) on call should a faculty me= mber need assistance during the hour(s) you are working.
Yes you will be trained and paid for training. There will be approximate= ly 4 hours of training, which will include synchronous and asynchronous tra= ining.
We have enough applications for the slots.
