There is no money in it. They will lure you in with the promise of income and then cancel your classes for obscure reasons. The on-line demands of faculty are outrageous. Admin might just as well say: your instructor will spoon feed you and answer your every cry. Many on-line classes are designed around the co-dependent and whiny students. For every 3 students who are decent, you will have 14 who are expecting to do less with more of your time. On-line teaching can really fall into the dregs of trying to drag "alternative ed students" through their classes. If you are not into teaching at the alternative ed centers in your high school public school district, you won't like the on-line class structure for the pay. My advice: get out of teaching.
