Subject: Immeditate need for subject matter experts for competency-based online courses





Dear Professor Mitchell,



I hope you don't mind this intrusion, but I wanted to reach out to you briefly about an opportunity that might interest you.



O'Donnell Learn  is currently reaching out to a number of reputable subject matter experts (SMEs) about possible involvement in an O’Donnell (ODL) project to develop a series of rigorous undergraduate competency-based online business courses for Acrobatiq (company born out of Carnegie Mellon's OLI). The course we need SMEs for is:

·  Research Methods (Graduate level course)



To develop these courses, we're looking to create a series of teams — with a project manager and several SMEs — to work closely together with Acrobatiq over the next 6 months. Qualified candidates for these positions will have a minimum of 3-5 years teaching experience in the discipline, experience in online learning, and, ideally, some exposure to adult learners.



If you're qualified and have some available time in the next 6 months, please let me know and I'll send you more details right away. If you're not interested or don't have the time to commit to this project, but would be willing to send contact info for a qualified colleague, that would be much appreciated.







Thank you for your time. I hope to hear from you.







Best regards,







Allison McNamara



On behalf of O'Donnell Learn
