Recruiting, Hiring, and Mentoring Virtual Adjunct Faculty

Online

The student demand for flexible alternative delivery options has created a thriving market for distance learning. As more colleges and universities offer distance learning courses, programs, and degrees to meet this demand, virtual adjunct faculty have become a staple in online education. While the ratio of adjunct to full-time faculty is rapidly increasing in some higher education institutions, others already use virtual adjuncts almost exclusively. This web conference will explore the new and expanding role of adjunct faculty in distance learning, and will examine some best practices for supporting virtual adjunct faculty.
