Questions about Subject Matter Experts

[mtnairlover]

I had asked many eons ago for Subject Matter Experts to write course materials for online college courses on a contract basis.

We still could use SMEs, but I'm at a different online college now. The programs at my new employer include:

• digital graphic design
• retail management
• nursing
• computer support
• paralegal
• criminal justice/homeland security
• web development
• hospitality management
• internet marketing
• medical billing and coding
• business management
• human resource management
• medical administrative assistant

Right now, we offer Associates Degrees with the hopes to eventually move to bachelors and who knows.



If you want more info, just send me a pm, or get a hold of me on FB.

Not sure I have the expertise required in any of those, but I'll FB you when I'm on next. Thanks C!

I think the toughest thing about getting SMEs for my line of work is the fact that we ask them to write. I know not everyone enjoys writing. It takes a special kind of person to look at some sort of subject matter and make it easy to understand for the student...and engaging. I've gone through several SMEs (out of a couple dozen) in my time where they may know their job inside and out, but to actually be able to translate what they do onto (virtual) paper...that was a whole different story.

Anyway, I've never had any luck finding people here to share their knowledge. My guess is that it's the writing that turns people away...only a wild guess, but yeah. Meh... The thing is that I love what I do. I enjoy taking hard to understand concepts and making them understandable. I get a kick out of knowing that our work is helping people move up in their lives.

Speaking of...I'd better get my tail end moving and off to work.
