The quizzes and final exam are machine graded.
Duties and Responsibilities:
  • Implementing courses as designed by the University, including the completion of weekly tasks on a university-supplied checklist.
  • Posting video announcements each week explaining student tasks and expectations.
  • Holding virtual office hours each week.
  • Answering student questions in Canvas Messages and Q&A discussion forums.
  • Moderating group discussion forums, including reviewing student postings, interacting with students, and answering questions.
  • Grading student discussion posts.
  • Collaborating with the department chair and other university staff to promote student success and apply university policies.

  • Experience mentoring library-based undergraduate research and writing projects.
  • Experience teaching online at the college level.
  • Experience working with non-traditional students including working adults, military service members and veterans, first-generation college students, and students from historically disadvantaged minority groups.

Rate of Pay:
1. A flat rate of $1000 per credit for a section of at least 10 undergraduate students or 8 graduate students. Courses that fall under these student headcounts are
considered low enrolled courses.
2. Low enrolled courses will be paid on a directed study rate ($250/student for undergraduate courses and $300/student for graduate courses) based on the number of
