Day Lead
A Day Lead is a single person responsible for a whole day of curriculum content. The Day Lead is welcome to have as many people support their efforts as they like, but ultimately they are responsible for the completion of all work.Tasks that the Day Lead must see to completion by themselves or their team:
Producing an outline for the day : include day-wide and tutorial specific learning objectives. Curriculum Chair might also provide these for you depending on course.
Creating/updating all tutorials : pre-recorded mini-lectures, written content and python coding exercises in Jupyter Notebooks. These must all adhere to our templates and be CC BY Licensed.
Sharing these materials via our Github repository. Help is available from our technical team.
Creating a small set of content-based survey questions that correspond to learning objectives.
Responding to and incorporating two sets of reviewer comments.
Depending on the course, recruiting a keynote speaker for the day and obtaining a recorded talk.
Optional but encouraged: During the course, join the digital conversation space during the session devoted to the Day Lead's materials at least once to respond to questions posed by students and TAs.
Depending on the course, a paid Curriculum Specialist will also support the Day Lead by helping build coding exercises and reviewing materials.
