Making a living as an online adjunct instructor isn’t all that difficult with a little determination and an earned graduate degree. The first step to landing online adjunct teaching positions with multiple online degree programs, all of which need an online adjunct instructor to lead the class, is to start looking up online programs. Once the online programs have been found, and every post secondary school has a website now, it is simply a matter of submitting your application materials. Of course, the application materials will highlight that you are interested in teaching online college classes. The massive influx of new and returning college students seeking to improve their chances of being hired for a good job once the economy improves a bit by having further training or an actual online bachelor degree or online masters degree in hand is creating a growing need for qualified online adjunct to teach the students. Further, since the majority of college students are located in the first year courses, a graduate degree in history, English, math or psychology will be most in demand by the online bachelor degree programs.
Applying for a position as an online adjunct instructor requires finding the application link to a post secondary academic institution’s application page. For example, here is one from North Idaho College:
North Idaho College
1000 West Garden Avenue
Coeur d’Alene, ID 83814
Tele: (208) 769-300
Fax: (208) 769-7786
Human Resources: (208) 769-3304
On the front page of this school’s web site is an “Employment” link. Clicking on that link leads to a “Welcome to North Idaho College’s Employment Home Page” announcement, and just under that announcement are specific instructions on how to navigate the application page for this community college.
It is important to understand that the application process will, in all probability, be different for each community college, state college and university and for profit school. The initial task will be to find a search and application strategy that will allow you to submit as many applications as possible every day. However, applying to online universities for online adjunct positions is a numbers game in many cases. That means you will have to submit a larger amount of applications in order to receive a positive response and, hopefully, an invitation to participate in the training program held by the school. Keep in mind that in almost every case you will be required to successfully participate in a training program before being placed in an online classroom.
In the end, it is quite possible to earn a living as an online adjunct instructor by acquiring several online professor positions with several accredited online degree programs. The key to finding these positions is to locate the application page and submit your academic credentials, and to always repeat the application process with the same school until you receive a positive response inviting you to participate in the training program. With an earned graduate degree and a desire to focus on making applications to online universities, it is entirely possible to earn a nice living by teaching online college courses.
