Overview

Academic Coaches are highly qualified, experienced practitioners who most frequently serve as the liaison between the universitys faculty of record and students within the assigned online course. An Academic Coach's qualifications and requirements are tailored to individual university and program needs. The Academic Coach is often the student's initial point of contact with student and serving in a role similar to a traditional teaching assistant at an institution, providing instructional support to the faculty, adding an add layer of support for the students within the course.

Responsibilities

Academic Coaches assist with grading assignments per faculty directions, my be asked monitor and/or participate in the discussion threads, answer inquiries/emails within 24 hours, monitor student engagement, and regularly communicates with the university's faculty of record for the assigned online course. Academic Coaches serve as facilitators and graders, while university faculty are the Instructor of Record.

An average is approximately 10-30 minutes per student per week; however, this can vary depending on the course level, the specific course you are assigned, and the number of open-ended assignments within the assigned course. Academic Coaches who consistently complete coach assignments with quality and meeting the faculty's expectations will be considered for additional sections or responsibilities.

Compensation is based on a per-student-per-course formula. About 75% of the courses are 5 to 9-week course cycles, and the programs are year-round, with 4-7 course cycles/term starts throughout the year. In a first course assignment, the practical limit is 50 students, with 30 being more typical. The average experienced Academic Coach can support 75-90 students. A highly proficient coach with ample time may be assigned up to 120 students, but this is the upper limit. Since we support all disciplines, various levels of courses (undergrad, graduate, and doctoral), and courses varying from 5 to 16 weeks in length, specific "per-student-per-course" rates are not disclosed until a contracted Academic Coach is approved and offered a specific course assignment.
