Service connects prospective online faculty with institutions offering online courses

As enrollments in online courses continue to grow, institutions are challenged to identify qualified, experienced online faculty. Persons who desire to teach online are often frustrated with the time consuming process of searching for online teaching positions. A new service called FacultyFinder has been created at the intersection of these two needs. Using FacultyFinder.com a prospective online faculty member can create a fully searchable profile for free. Subscribing institutions can then search the database by dozens of variables including academic background, online teaching experience, learning management system familiarity, etc. Administrative features allow institutions to save searches, organize search results in folders, directly communicate with candidates, and even receive alerts when additional candidates matching their search criteria create a FacultyFinder profile. In the first month of availability 1200+ prospective faculty members have created profiles.
