What are the roles of an electronic assistant (EA)?

Ongoing challenges and opportunities are enormous for the University to move towards an environment which offers more online learning opportunities. Faculty members and students are going to face more challenges in teaching, learning, and connecting online.

To assist faculty members to teach by using digital equipment to enhance their teaching, and augment students’ learning, the University plans to train more EAs. Moreover, the University has decided to offer its online courses to more educational institutions, so EAs will play a role of connecting the University with other institutions.

Each EA will learn more about using the media, gaining the skills of recording, editing and post-production, etc.

What are the qualifications and how to become an EA?

• Students with passion, work ethics and sense of responsibility, and more than that, they are interested in media design and digital teaching, are suitable to serve others as EAs.

• Those who have attended education and training sessions, which include an introduction class, asynchronous online class, and making a presentation of audiovisual work, and passed the exams, may join us as EAs.
