Unfortunately, I keep turning back into a 24/7 instructor and it is unfortunate because after 5 years exclusively online I am looking elsewhere for employment. I love what I do, but certainly am not paid enough to work the 20+ hours a day I usually work.
I take classes and work towards less, but here I am New Years day...after working all day yesterday as well. It is quite overwhelming as many schools no longer understand what "adjunct" means.
I do use a "Questions Go Here" forum with weekly threads, where I answer all general questions and yes that has helped minimize email.
Thanks again. :-)
