Are there websites/directories specifically for online teaching jobs -
ie, jobs for people who teach online/provide distance education
content? I don't mean the standard job search sites, like Monster.com
or whatever, as searches there are fairly useless for this sort of
thing.

Request for Question Clarification by darrel-ga on 09 Jun 2003 19:20 PDT

In which state(s)/areas are you looking/qualified to teach?

---

Clarification of Question by captjaneway2003-ga on 09 Jun 2003 19:25 PDT

Perhaps you misunderstood the question. I'm not looking for a list of
teaching jobs online.

I'm looking for a resource for jobs for people who teach online
classes. That is, online schools or distance education providers who
want teachers to teach via internet. So state/area is irrelevant.

Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 09 Jun 2003 22:35 PDT

What subjects are you interested in teaching? What level? (K-12,
postsecondary, corporate, community/continuing education, etc.)
Anything you can explain about your situation will help me gather the
information you need. Thanks.

Hi! So it means that a list of online learning websites like online
universities will do the trick? or it would be necessary that they are
looking for teachers at this time?

Clarification of Question by captjaneway2003-ga on 10 Jun 2003 06:09 PDT

Easterangel is more or less on the the right track here, although yes,
I am specifically looking for places like this that are actively
looking for teachers.

Hi captjaneway2003,

I had no idea there were so many resources available. Narrowing the
field to "available --online teaching positions" was a bit more
tricky. I read your question and the clarifications several times and
believe I have chosen the best web sites for you. They are all geared
specifically to online/distance learning, and each one will be useful
in a slightly different way.

Hi there,

The sites you provided weren't bad, but didn't provide the sort of
directory of "online teaching" jobs I was looking for. The links
provided by the commenter are closer to what I"m looking for.

You might want to look at a non-profit site that I run

http://www.gnacademy.org/

There is one forum link specifically about online teaching jobs

http://www.gnacademy.org/twiki/bin/view/Guides/DistanceLearningFaculty

Also I'm a faculty member at University of Phoenix, and in the next
few days, I'll add an "unofficial guide" to the list.
