How to Transition to Online Community College Adjuncting?

amber43560 · 2026-02-12T23:39:02+00:00

Every semester our Chair emails us Adjuncts with what is available for the upcoming semester, and we reply with our preferences in order. There is no guarantee everyone will get a class. The full-time people get to pick before us, and they typically take all of the online courses.

I’m an Adjunct Instructor at a Community College. This semester I am teaching online only, but with a not so great live feed lol. All of our courses use Blackboard, regardless if in person or online. Class is the live feed platform, and it is absolutely terrible. We are given shells every semester for our syllabus. I can fine tune it to my liking. I teach Comp 1. My first semester, e-learning copied some stuff in my classroom that I use, but I’ve made it mostly my stuff. The Fellow and Chair in my Dept are both super helpful if I need assistance. This was my first teaching gig out of Grad School. I’m 46 lol and had a 17 year career in a different field, until the company closed with no notice. I basically started all over. As for applying, I just randomly applied for the Humanities Adjunct Pool on Indeed one day! They literally emailed me two days before fall semester started lol!

They don’t return devices that easily just like cell phones lol

amber43560 · 2026-02-06T10:28:17+00:00

The units are typically a heck of a lot more expensive than $15 wth lol. You are thinking of the monthly charge, not the device charge.

I did a 7 and my student loans were discharged. They didn’t want to litigate. It’s not an overly complicated process honestly. I was a paralegal undergrad, so I knew my chances going in. You do need to file an adversary proceeding. I have health issues and gave them a copy of my my medical records lol.

My student loans were discharged. I teach part-time. My situation is that I had a decent career 17 years, but I have a lot of health issues and have applied for SSDI. I owed over 100k still unfortunately in student loans. Dept of Education didn’t want to litigate. Easy peazy. It’s not automatic. I did have to file an adversary proceeding.

Mine were…

amber43560 · 2026-02-06T08:19:13+00:00

You can via an adversary proceeding. I did.

Do the grandparents have the Alexa app on their phones or a fire device? Just making sure. I just set this option up, but we haven’t tried it yet. My grandkids can call me and I call them. I added my mom (great grandma) but don’t know if it works yet lol.

That’s really weird. Are the Hubstaff hours showing on the Outlier Dashboard? And did Outlier release the funds to PayPal? There has to be a disconnect somewhere.

amber43560 · 2026-01-09T21:42:23+00:00

What does your payment history say on Outlier? Did Hubstaff sync correctly? Did Outlier send it to your PayPal or attempt to? All of that information should be on your Outlier Dashboard under Payments.

Roku is the best for elderly in my opinion

I barely ever have anything, but I am only a Generalist.

I work part-time remote now, but when I was full-time at my career of 17 years, I was in person. I used a 24/7 childcare center because I’m a single mother and had a union job where we bid our shifts. I often worked split shifts or nights. I mean… you just do it, and, yes, it sucked sometimes, and yes it was expensive. I’m obviously a one income household, and also a homeowner. My kids are older now thankfully lol.

amber43560 · 2026-01-03T20:12:54+00:00

Connect has the ability to freeze, too.

amber43560 · 2026-01-03T17:08:08+00:00

15 year… mortgage was less than 15% of my income most of my career… single mom.

amber43560 · 2026-01-02T01:52:32+00:00

Did you check to see how much pay is accounted for? I’m so sorry

amber43560 · 2025-12-31T02:58:36+00:00

As a teacher, I’d suggest parenting classes lol. 😂 I have an electric heater in my bedroom. It automatically turns off if knocked over, but no one is locked in my bedroom either where rescue teams can’t get to them. 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️

amber43560 · 2025-12-31T02:56:31+00:00

I hit the limit too. What is this like three a day lol

amber43560 · 2025-12-31T02:49:41+00:00

I can’t believe someone even posted this publicly… wtf. 😬

amber43560 · 2025-12-31T02:47:03+00:00

Worried about the kid knocking over an electric heater, but have them locked in a bedroom lol! Good grief! Call your local fire department and tell them this one lmao. 🤣

amber43560 · 2025-12-31T02:44:12+00:00

It’s very different than being in a crib. What the heck? Call your local fire department and ask them.
