THE CHALLENGE OF FACULTY COMPENSATION
|
||
This paper explores the issue of faculty compensation as it relates to the development and teaching of online courses in higher education. In light of the importance of faculty compensation as a motivator for teaching and developing online courses, this study attempted to review compensation policies of selected higher education institutions in the US that specialize in online programs. The almost complete lack of specific compensation policies related to online course development and teaching is striking and makes it very challenging for higher education institutions to determine a ‘market rate’ for online faculty. The paper provides recommendations for establishing a compensation rate for developing and teaching online courses. |
