Training and Supporting Online Adjuncts: Practical Ideas

If you rely on adjunct faculty to teach in an expanding online program, you may have noticed two things:

1. They’re hard to find.
2. They’re hard to keep.

Qualified people are always in short supply, but the rapid growth of online programs seems to have exacerbated the problem.

Retention is also a significant issue: online adjuncts, who aren’t necessarily located on campus (or even in the same country), often feel a lack of support, connection and loyalty.

Defections are common, creating a constant cycle of search, replacement, training and attrition.

What can you do to build a better, stronger, less transitory adjunct population? We explore a wealth of strategies and tactics.

Kimberly Hardy, Ph.D., shows you how to create programs that help your adjuncts feel a greater connection to your institution and its online program.

You’ll learn about:

• Creating an online mentoring program
• Helping adjuncts with development and preparation of courses
• Meeting adjunct needs for technical support and assistance
• Developing robust communication and information tools and forums
• Creating adjunct tutorials
• Building a community of learners among online adjuncts
• Connecting offsite adjuncts to the campus
• Establishing professional development opportunities

Who will benefit:

• Academic deans
• Directors
• Program managers of distance learning programs 
• Technical staff
• Faculty development professionals
