What is a Virtual Adjunct Professor?

A Virtual Adjunct Professor is a part-time instructor who teaches courses online for colleges or universities.

Virtual adjuncts use online platforms to deliver lectures, facilitate discussions, grade assignments, and support students remotely. This role offers flexibility for both educators and institutions, making higher education more accessible to a diverse student population.
