[Air-L] Online course development--what's a good contract?

[William Dutton]

Dear Patricia,

Good question, which is likely to quickly raise issues around pre and post-COVID online teaching. I would guess that any previous contractual arrangements for online teaching will be revisited.

What does the faculty member get paid to develop the content? What are the protections that the university won't just take the developed course and hire adjuncts to teach it? Any advice gratefully welcomed.
