How can I become an online computer science instructor?

The primary qualifications for becoming an online computer science instructor are a master's degree and several years of programming experience. Some schools accept applicants who only have a bachelor's degree, especially for high school or other introductory classes, but most strongly prefer the master's degree. A doctorate in computer science is optional but helpful if you want to pursue a senior faculty position. Depending on the area, you may also need a teaching license or certificate. Fulfilling the responsibilities and duties of an online computer science instructor requires leadership skills, communication skills, creativity, flexibility, and the ability to find flaws in programming code written by others.
