The CyberEdu team will meet on a regular basis to discuss ideas and tasking, other duties can be done individually or in collaboration with others.

The graphic and web design piece will be attacked from several different angles. The first angle will be providing graphics for the physical website that will host the game and educational tool. Graphic arts work will also be necessary for developing content to be added to both the game and the educational tool. Video and photography experience is also important, as some tasks will require both skill sets. Design will also be needed for project materials and other marketing related efforts. The position may include other duties as assigned. The important thing is to have artistic abilities, and being able to transform concepts into a finished project.

The position reports to Bobby Crumbaugh, the Project Manager for CyberEdu as well as ACES and DIT faculty.
