Need teaching experience? Design and teach your own class.

Years ago when I first started out teaching online, there was ONE place to design and teach your own class, and hopefully make a little teeny bit of money. Today, there are too many ways to count for designing and teaching your own classes.

The key to getting started in online teaching seems to be a no-brainer - take anything and everything you’re offered. Work hard in the online training provided to new online faculty at your school and above all, make the very best impression you can in the training courses.

While you’re waiting for the first offer, you can make yourself more marketable by gaining experience in designing and teaching some courses. You probably won’t get paid for it but it counts as experience and shows motivation, persistence, and initiative. Ten years ago I taught online for free for the experience and learned A LOT in the process!!

Here are a few places to check out for teaching, creating, writing, designing, and getting experience!! Be creative and show them what you can do!! (Experience counts as course design, teaching online, technology skills)
