Expectations and Tasks
About the Role
One of the hardest parts of being an educator is bridging the gap between theory and practice. As an expert at EDU, your role is pivotal in creating that bridge and actualising EDU’s didactic concept. We believe that what students can learn on their own, for example definitions and basic theoretical concepts, can be learned during self-study prior to expert sessions. Equipped with the foundations, our learners come to sessions prepared to meet our experts, who in-turn bridge learned theory into practical application by bringing real-world experience and passion into the session. This is not a traditional lecture where power points are dictated, but a space where experts bring the many colours of actual clinical experience to learning and where theory can truly be highlighted to practice.
Our experts are expected to facilitate 90-minute sessions, on their expertise in order to bridge their clinical experience into the session. It is expected that experts become familiar with our digital teaching tool, bring question prompts, case studies and scenarios, and any other methods that support learners in their high order thinking skills.
This position can be done completely remotely, however sessions are held in the central European time (CET).
