Essential Duties and Responsibilities Walden provides undergraduate instruction in two modalities; course based with 6-week terms and competency based using a subscription model. Faculty start teaching in the course-based modality before potentially adding the competency-based modality on an as needed basis. All modalities are asynchronous. Contributing Faculty manage their own time to fulfill their responsibilities. We value the experience you bring with you and want to make sure your voice is heard as policies and initiatives take shape and find implementation. Provide Course instruction as assigned: Engage in classrooms at least 4 days a week. Facilitate and engage in discussion boards. Assess student work and provide substantive feedback in a timely fashion. Be available to students via video chat or phone as needed. Occasional additional duties may include: Course content development Service on university and school committees, and school initiatives as needed. Support administrative needs within the college. Course maintenance as needed. Establish an accessible and supportive virtual classroom environment. Collaborate with colleagues and supervisors, sharing experiences and observations. Training All new faculty members receive specific training from Walden University in the techniques of online teaching: use of the Learning Management System (LMS), specifics of the policies, procedures, and degree programs in which they are going to teach; socialization int the Walden University culture; assessment of academic integrity of student work including use of www.TurnItIn.com and acceptable use of AI. A faculty peer mentor is appointed at the start of the first teaching assignment to provide mentorship and establish collegiality.
