What technical problem-solving tools do you feel are mandatory for your work as an Academic Support Coordinator?
As you prepare to answer a question like this, be prepared to talk about the tools and resources you would use to solve students' issues with online learning systems. Your interviewer will expect the person they hire into this role to troubleshoot issues students are having on the fly. If needed, be sure to research those types of systems so that your knowledge is fresh.
"Having had a lot of hands-on experience with Blackboard and Banner, I foresee that as being the largest area for troubleshooting in this role. If I couldn't figure out the problem using my knowledge and strengths, I know both apps have a great troubleshooting site that I have used plenty of times and could refer to if needed. As well, I would have their help desk on speed dial for the times I needed them. When more advanced support would be needed in any similar system, I would research all backside functions of that system. The same would be true if I were accepted as your new Academic Support Coordinator."

During online learning, this was something that I had to become well versed in. I learned how to think quickly and be able to solve technical issues by doing my research. It was important for me to be able to fix issues because we had limited time for instruction.
