Positioning My 01.1 – Required skills and Experiences

As I imagined that the online/distance learning posts will be ubiquitous in Thailand soon, I searched for online/distance learning executive positions in US and came up with required skills and experiences for my dream post--a Director of Distance Learning:

Technological Skills and Experiences:

• Understanding of computer technologies and their applications, particularly in education
  
• Experience utilizing and integrating instructional technologies and/or distance learning technologies in the curriculum
  

Academic Skills and Experiences:

• Experience in working with faculty and students in an academic setting
  
• Experience in (online/distance) instructional design, curricular planning, development, and program assessment/evaluation
  
• Experience in student recruiting, and program marketing ⁱ
  
• Research skills
  

Managerial Skills and Experiences:

• Ability to respond quickly and effectively to changing situations
  
• Ability to manage and lead the department to achieve strategic and budget goals ⁱ
  
• Analytical, organizational, supervisory, reasoning, verbal and written communication, presentation, and problem solving skills
  

Note: As an executive level, I do believe that marketing and financial skills are as important as academic skills
