Post Secondary on line teaching jobs?

We Answered:

You're qualified--your real-world experience counts, tho' a little teaching experience would help. And you're in a high-demand area.

A good way to start would be to contact nearby universities, colleges and community colleges regarding part-time teaching. Something like 60% of college courses nowadays are taught by part-time faculty. You won't get paid well at all! But you can get a record of teaching intro. courses in accounting and finance rather easily that way.

Online teaching can be tricky. The colleges that advertise online degrees the most (Phoenix, Western Govs, Walden, etc.) generally employ only part-time faculty. Many universities that offer online programs look at them as cash cows and assign unrealistic class sizes and use clunky course management platforms. I've taught 90% of my course load (I'm full time, tenured) online for several years, and recently gave it up because it's gotten too, too crazy! The best way to go into online teaching would be to get on at a community college that does it well, and wait for the opportunity to present itself. Before you commit, ask around among other online faculty to see what their experiences are, and if the course platforms are broken or if they're reduced to 'graders' by requirements to follow precisely a course package, run away--run away!

Your best hope for full-time employment (if that's what you're after) would be at the community college; universities usually want someone with a terminal degree (a doctorate, in your case).
