What Position Will I Play on the DE Team?

I am a high school teacher. My county school system is reasonably well outfitted, and provides an underutilized LMS system. Originally it was a system called Angel, which is now owned by Blackboard. We couldn't leave well enough alone, so ours is called SCORE. We had enough technology talent on the payroll to meddle with the coding and offerings, but now those who did that have moved on, and other than maintenance updates, very little has changed or evolved in the past six years. I mention this because any team above an author/editor model requires a team to make online courses work well. 

Being a high school teacher who is interested in online courseware is sort of like visiting a relative's house and picking about it their garage. The relation never throws anything away, and often replaces perfectly good items with new ones because they got it free when they bought something else. You can find some really cool stuff that you've never seen before. If you ask the right person, they may be able to tell you about your find. You might be able to figure out how to use something on your own. Sometimes your discovery looks like it will be useful, but the piece that make it work was lost long ago. 

Smart people figured out that if you are going to go online, you've got to have a team, and it's got to be a DE team. The author/editor model may work in some cases, but probably not well, and will probably be little more than standard coursework delivered online in both directions, or a project utilizing online materials or applications. So, after reading about course design and development, I started thinking about the position I'd like to play. It looks like I'll need to hit the proverbial gym and bulk up some skills, as the skills that moved me to enroll in this program are the skills that I may need the least.

I got into teaching not because I was in love with education. In fact, I was 38 when I returned to a classroom. After earning my undergrad, I was happy to be finished with formal education. It didn't take long to realize that I'd be back in the classroom from time to time as skills needed updating, or new career paths dictated, but this was a means to an end. I became a teacher because just about everyone assumed I had been one after we'd have a discussion about history or American government. The question is, will I continue content delivery when I have concluded this course of study?

The positions on this new team I'll be playing for will have a content expert, course designer, instructional material designer, writer, technology specialist, graphic designer, as well as various hardware and software specialists. Are these positions full-time, or are they ad-hoc when a new offering needs to go online? Are they support positions in the IT department? Are they interested in the content, or is the content a cog? Of course they care about treating the cog well, and making sure it is supported and presented well, but is it a cog like the cog that from last week, or the cog to come? I've got some decisions to make.
