Associate/Full Professor and Assistant Professors Sought For Fall 2002 in Instructional Systems
The Instructional Systems Program seeks both a Professor and an Assistant Professor to begin the Fall 2002 semester. The position searches are scheduled to end mid-December with campus visits for short-list candidates to take place in early January.
The department attempted to fill these positions last Spring, but was unsuccessful for a variety of reasons. However, during the candidate visits, many students voiced their desire to have a forum to discuss the current status of the Instructional Systems program with faculty members in the department. While a face-to-face meeting has not yet been arranged, the HPT Forum is currently running a discussion forum to give students, faculty and alumni an opportunity to voice thier opinions regarding where we should be headed as a program, what we should be seeking in a full, associate or assistant professor, and ideas to continue to keep Florida State's Instructional Systems one of the top programs in the nation.
As a reminder of our challenge, listen to and view the "Florida State Instructional Systems: Where It Is...Where It's Been...And Where I Thnk It Ought To Go" address presented by Dr. Robert Morgan at the April 2001 New Directions in Instructional Systems and Performance Technology Conference.
