CEG Digital wishes to engage the services of a self-employed contractor as an Online Tutor for our MA in Artificial Intelligence, running in partnership with the University of Southampton. We are looking for candidates with experience of teaching and marking in higher education (ideally at postgraduate level) and a completed PhD qualification in an AI related field.

The Online Tutor plays a role in the success and vibrancy of the University’s online programmes and are an academic presence in the modules to which they are assigned. They are usually the first point of contact for academic queries from students. Each Online Tutor will have a group of up to 30 students. During a typical week, the Online Tutor will lead a 1-hour online webinar, engage with students through various asynchronous online activities and respond and triage student queries. Online Tutors also first-mark summative assessments in-line with the University’s assessment regulations.

This is a flexible, part-time, role. Note that there will be key dates and contact points you will be required to adhere to which are driven by assessment dates in the course calendar. Full details will be provided prior to the start of the module.
