Teach With Us
ed2go has been delivering courses over the Internet since 1997. We have a deep reservoir
of experience that you can rely on to turn your dreams of teaching online into reality.
Credibility
ed2go is the world's single largest provider of online adult continuing education.
We have served over a million students and continue to enjoy profitability, leadership
within our industry, and double-digit enrollment growth. Our distance learning faculty
includes some of the most well-known and trusted names in online education.
High Customer Satisfaction
A genuine ed2go course is more than just a collection of project-oriented lessons,
stimulating quizzes, and hands-on assignments. Our instructors are famous for their
ability to create warm and supportive communities of learners. It's no wonder that
many long-lasting friendships have formed in our lively and intelligent discussion
areas. Our satisfaction and completion rates are among the highest in our industry,
with more than 95% of our students indicating that they'd like to take another ed2go
online course. But don't take our word for it—see for yourself. Browse our

Support
When you develop a course with ed2go, you will be assisted by editors, copywriters,
proofers, illustrators, animators, audio engineers, programmers, system administrators,
and technical support personnel. You won't need to manage servers, set passwords,
help your students with browser and printer problems, manage extension requests,
grade quizzes, juggle rosters, add and drop students, or even worry about attracting
students to your course. We have the expertise to manage all of those tasks for
you. As a member of the ed2go faculty, you will be free to focus on what you do
best—teaching your students. We'll take care of everything else!
Efficiency
ed2go builds powerful student-centered learning communities carefully designed to
help you facilitate, rather than dominate, class discussions. We recognize that
time is precious to both you and your students. As such, our state-of-the-art Web-based
messaging system permits you and your students to interact with one another at the
times that are most convenient for you. All you need to participate is an Internet
connection and a Web browser.
Scalability
While most online educators are struggling to support classes containing no more
than 10 or 15 students, ed2go instructors routinely handle dozens or even hundreds
of students every month. If you're a talented teacher with knowledge that's in demand,
word will get out, and your classroom could very well be flooded with students.
But don't panic! Our system works, and it works well. We promise you that your job
will get easier as your enrollment levels rise. Our teaching methodology, when coupled
with our powerful messaging and support systems, will allow you to handle larger
number of students in less time. A well-designed ed2go course with 100 students
should take its instructor no more than 10 hours a week to support. That compares
quite favorably to the 40 or 50 hours other online educators spend each week to
support fewer than 15 students.
Marketing
If you join our faculty, the colleges, universities, adult schools, and other training
organizations that make up the ed2go network will throw their reputations and marketing
muscles behind your course. Descriptions of your course will literally blanket the
nation as many of the more than 2,100 schools in our network begin to market your
course toward the communities they serve. These schools use direct mail, press releases,
advertising, and other marketing tools to sell ed2go courses.
Compensation
ed2go was founded by a teacher with many years of primary, secondary, and post-secondary
classroom experience. We firmly believe that students learn best under the patient
tutelage of a talented teacher. Because we owe so much of our success to the talent
and dedication of our instructors, we have always provided our teachers with the
most generous compensation plan in the industry. We view our relationship with you
as a partnership, and feel that you have as much at stake in the success of your
course as we do. As such, we will not place any caps on the income you can receive
from your course. If you're willing and able to make a difference in our students'
lives, we will do all that we can to provide you with the financial and professional
rewards that you deserve.
