The academic layoffs that are currently taking place at all levels of education have created a need for alternative ways to earn a decent living from providing instruction. The individuals with an earned graduate degree, a master’s degree or Ph.D., or the individuals willing to put in the time and effort to earn a graduate degree have that alternative route in the form of online faculty jobs with accredited distance learning universities and colleges. The maturity of distance education technology is now beyond question, and its availability to college and university administrators seeking a way to provide post-secondary instruction without having to build and maintain physical college classrooms is a quite welcome circumstance. After all, the cost of the large physical plants known as campuses is always going up. The fact is that online bachelor degree programs and online masters degree programs work very well for students participating in online accredited degree programs, college and university administrators seeking ways to successfully confront severe reductions in budgetary monies and educators seeking to entirely replace lost incomes from teaching or supplement current incomes with online teaching for online college degree programs.
Prospective online adjunct instructors need to familiarize themselves with the process required to acquire multiple online professor positions. Traditional adjunct instructors are quite limited as to how many classes they can teach during any one semester. This is due to the availability of physical post-secondary campuses within driving distance. Unless an adjunct instructor has actual physical access to additional physical schools, and this access requires living in densely populated urban areas, there is little if any opportunity to increase the income from teaching college students. Of course, before an academic can begin teaching online for online bachelor degree program and online masters degree programs it is first necessary to make many applications. The best procedure for this is to visit as many college, state university and community college websites and learn how to locate the faculty application section in each one of them. After making several hundred applications for online college faculty positions the application process will become easy and move quickly through ten to twenty schools every day. It is vitally important for the online adjunct college professor to realize that teaching online is not at all similar to a state faculty position. Filling a teaching portfolio with numerous online adjunct instructor positions requires a constant search strategy for online degree programs that offer their students the chance to earn, for example, a criminal justice associate degree online, an online master in teaching or an online business degree. The stark reality is that the vast majority of state colleges and state universities are just now developing online college classes and this deployment will continue for decades.
However, the academic that persists in the search and application to multiple online faculty jobs will ultimately be rewarded with an academic career that can be engaged in from practically any spot on the globe that offers access to the Internet. Additionally, since teaching online will cause the development of new technical skill sets for the online adjunct instructor, the extrapolation of those skills into other areas of intellectual endeavors will be much smoother and productive.
