eLearning Development Directors have the difficult task of bringing different research and data into the classroom setting. The person who bridges the gap between theory and the professors and instructors will rely on strong communication and relationships. In asking this question, your interviewer will ideally be looking to hear that you would take the reins in this role as their eLearning Development Director and build trusting and long-lasting work relationships with the educators you'd be working closely with. As you answer this question and talk about how you promote the turning of data into classroom practice, make sure to discuss how you would go about building a trusting relationship with the staff at this institution to ensure that the bridge you build is solid.

"I know that success as an eLearning Development Director requires first-hand experience and knowledge in both implementation in the virtual classroom setting and the research and data behind the scenes in creating new curriculum. If I were fortunate enough to be hired for this role, my first goal on the job would be to start to build great relationships with all of the professors and instructors here. I would do this by being knowledgeable in my field and having an open-door policy for any staff member to approach me to discuss the future of their online classroom. I would put out regular communications to the staff to let them get to know me. I would also be very transparent in my communications about what project I was working on so the staff could see the great work being done."
