About The Position

Contributing faculty members serve in a part-time capacity to educate Walden University Students by effectively and proficiently using online technology and resources so that knowledge, information, feedback, and critique are imparted to and shared with students in thoughtful, carefully formulated, well written, and timely communications. This is accomplished in an environment that is respectful of student, the Faculty Member, Walden University, and the discipline in which the Faculty Member is involved. Faculty Members are expected to adhere to all Walden University Faculty expectations, which are clearly set forth to the Faculty Member at the start of his/her employment with the University. Faculty Members are assigned primarily Blended Academic Year in Residence (BAYR) courses, which are taught using the Blackboard platform, and are responsible for interacting with students within this platform. Faculty are responsible for engaging with students in asynchronous Discussion Boards as well as grading assignments, answering student questions, and delivering 2 synchronous sessions during the quarter. Although postings to the classroom may be done at any time of day, they must be completed in a timely manner in accordance with the Faculty Handbook or other criteria established by Walden University. Per the faculty handbook, responses to student questions must be posted within 48 hours. Faculty will be required to teach BAYR courses, which require asynchronous, synchronous, and in-person instruction. The majority of the course is taught in an asynchronous manner with curriculum designed for faculty by the university. Synchronous requirements will consist of 2 hours per quarter for the course as well as 1-2 hours for professional development and advising of students during the BAYR course sequence. Travel is required for the in-person component of BAYR courses and will occur in Minneapolis, MN for 7 days during the 12 week quarter. During the 7-day in person component, faculty should expect to provide in person instruction for approximately 4-5 hours per day.
