Each teacher plans and writes the curriculum, develops it, and puts it in Lotus LearningSpace. Each teacher is responsible for about 110 students. In comparison, a teacher comes into contact with approximately 150 to 180 students per day in a conventional classroom. The heavy demand for advance preparation is offset by the advantages of flexibility. Teachers don't have set times to report to work and they enjoy carte blanche on their schedules, except for meetings.
Some teachers work in the office and some at home, some days, some nights.
It doesn't matter, and that's very attractive to the teachers. While teachers are constantly enhancing courses, they aren't constantly rewriting lesson plans or spending time on lunch duty, evening football games, and so on. But they actually report that they work many more hours as an online teacher. Classes are delivered to a student's computer screen, wherever that may be, and what a student sees on screen is what they would hear in the classroom. They then seek additional information, spending significant time doing interviews with real people, reading and research.
