[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've taught online courses for 10 years now, bring home about 20k/year doing it.  Definitely a time suck in the beginning and not worth the money, but once you have your syllabus and materials fine tuned it's really a good deal![/quote]

I agree with this.  I worked as an adjunct for @5 years, but in-person, not online.  An adjunct was leaving the program and a prof for another class recommended me to the head of the program as the replacement.  As others have said, the pay works out to be very low if you count on an hour by hour basis.  But it gets easier each year as you have your outlines and handouts better-tuned year to year.  I had to mostly create them from scratch though, which was very time consuming.  I definitely didn't do it AT ALL for the money -- I did it solely because it was a good experience professionally, both on my record/resume and for the experience standing up in front of a class for 2 hours each week (i.e., public speaking).[/quote]
