Online Adjunct Teaching Jobs In Today’s

August 25, 2010

There can be no question about the quality of the technology needed to provide acceptable post-secondary educational material on the Internet, and there can be no question as to the need evidenced by new and returning college students desire for more and more online college courses as they pursue the completion of an AA degree online, an online bachelor degree or an online master’s degree. These circumstances combine to create a relatively new economic playing field, so to speak, that can be engaged by college instructors willing to lean the specific dynamics of earning an online adjunct income. The sheer number of existing and emerging online universities demands qualified college instructors to teach the classes, and as a focused adjunct instructor can teach as many online classes as he or she can manage on a daily basis

Assuming a general fee of two thousand dollars for each class and assuming that each class runs eleven weeks long, and many community colleges and an even greater number of for-profit schools are now offering eleven-week academic “Quarters” to their students, that teaching schedule would generate approximately sixteen thousand dollars for the teaching adjunct before taxes. Further, if the classes are repeated throughout the year, and it is more often the case now that online college degree programs run a full forty four weeks across a twelve month span since computer technology doesn’t need any time off during the summer, then a college instructor teaching core subjects such as English, math, history or psychology would earn as much as sixty four thousand dollar a year.

Got something to say?
