OASIS
Walden’s Office of Academic Support and Instructional Services (OASIS) provides instruction to help students develop academic and professional skills for success. OASIS houses seven teams: the Walden Library; Content Management; Content Operations; Instructional Services; and Undergraduate, Graduate, and Doctoral Academic Support. Following Walden’s Success by Degree framework, we align our instructional support with university-wide, degree-level learning outcomes. Everyone in OASIS collaborates with teams across Walden to ensure we connect students with flexible, seamless instructional support where and when they need it.
Across OASIS, we offer various instructional services and resources to support students’ skill development at all stages of their studies. The Instructional Services Support Specialist will primarily support OASIS Graduate and Undergraduate Assistant (GA/UGA) staff with program and professional development training, peer-led responsibilities, and team logistics. Graduate and undergraduate assistants are current Walden students who support their peers through tutoring, mentoring, and writing support activities. The individual in this role will secondarily support various OASIS instructional services, possibilities include resource development, paper review appointments, doctoral residency presentations, and instructional design. In collaboration with the other OASIS teams, the OASIS Instructional Services Team creates varied interactive experiences that meet students where they are and encourage critical thinking, active engagement, and the application of knowledge inside and outside the classroom. This dynamic position will provide excellent opportunities to strengthen leadership, organizational, instructional design, and presentation skills. This role will report to the Manager of Graduate Assistant Strategy and Support in OASIS. This role requires a flexible full-time schedule that includes some evenings and weekends.
