Summary

Part-time adjunct teaching in the Cloud Technologies program, delivering server administration coursework against a common syllabus supplied by the school. Duties are instructional rather than administrative: teach the scheduled sections, issue a course syllabus, keep attendance and grading records, use Canvas and similar tools, and stay available to students outside class. Two things shape the offer -- it is a temporary semester-by-semester contract hired as needed, and the posting stays open continuously to build a candidate pool, so applicants are contacted only when an actual section opens. Faculty credentialing is a master degree in information systems or information technology, or a bachelor degree in field backed by professional certification, two years of in-field employment or equivalent documentation.
