Reviewers Needed for College-Level Psychology Items

Seasoned assessment professionals needed to review college-level psychology items (part-time, temporary, telecommuting)

Description: We are an established publisher of college-level science textbooks and supplements, currently developing items to accompany a new introductory psychology textbook.

Reviewers will have access to the forthcoming edition of the textbook and will be asked to review item banks and online quizzes that include multiple-choice, short-answer, and essay items.

The responsibilities of a reviewer include ensuring good content (accuracy, appropriateness, and agreement with the book); and confirming efficacy (items must be well constructed and include good distractors, test meaningful material, be clearly written, show correct answers, etc.). If you’re interested in working on this project, you will receive specifications and essential instructions; we would depend on your content expertise and your familiarity with the creation of effective assessment resources.

Required experience: Bachelor’s degree, preferably in psychology. Master’s or Ph.D. preferred, along with experience reviewing and/or editing college-level psychology items (multiple-choice and constructed-response).

Please respond with a current résumé and a brief cover letter that includes your assessment experience and area(s) of expertise in psychology.

Timeline: Starting in late August (2014) and likely to continue through November

Request for bids on curriculum development project

 Hi all...this came to me...I am unable to take it on at this time, but maybe someone here would be interested. Michele

Dear Michele:

My name is Jennie Steinhagen. I am assisting Susan Tatiner of the IEEE Standards Association on a university-level curriculum development project for a book of case studies about technical standards scheduled for publication by Wiley/IEEE Press this December. We found your name on the EFA Web site. Below are some details about the project. If you are interested, could you please share your thoughts and qualifications with us?

Project: Curriculum Development for Modern Standardization: Case Studies at the Crossroads of Technology, Economics, and Politics by Ron Schneiderman.
Project Timeframe: Goal is for material to be ready for editing and formatting in October 2014.
Project Scope: Develop university-level curricula support materials for each of the 9 case studies detailed in the book. The book (estimated to be 240 pages) is geared to undergraduate and graduate students in engineering and business. Materials to be developed include the following for each of the 9 case studies:

1. "How to Use This Case Study in Your Classroom"
2. Assessment
3. Assessment Guide
   

Case Studies:

• Smart Grid
• Bluetooth/ZigBee
• Electrical Trace Heating
• TV White Space
• mHealth
• Wireless Charging
• Automotive Event Data Recorders
• Electronic Design Automation (EDA)
• Internet of Things/M2M
  

Expectations:

• This is a freelance/consultant, one-time, work-for-hire project. The material would be copyright IEEE.
• All work can be performed remotely and information exchange will take place via email. Occasional phone calls may be required.  
  

Next steps:

• We are currently accepting bids from consultants. Please let us know if you would like to submit a bid. If you are interested in the project, we will send you the original book proposal, a complete MS of the case studies book, and a SOW to help you prepare your bid.
• If you are not interested in submitting a bid, is there someone you would recommend?
  

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you and best regards,
Jennie
