Adjuncts
TILT adjunct courses are being refreshed and are relaunching Spring 2027.
We’re updating all three professional development courses — Foundations, Advanced Concepts, and Perspectives of Online Teaching — over the Fall 2026 semester. Fall enrollment is paused while we rebuild them. The pathway toward increased adjunct pay stays in place, and we look forward to welcoming faculty into the refreshed courses next term.

Adjunct Faculty of the Year Award
The Adjunct Recognition program was developed to honor adjunct faculty in each college who provide an outstanding online learning environment. Eligibility is determined based on teaching experience, course evaluations, and the approval of one’s department chair and college dean.
A certificate and monetary award are presented at the University’s annual Fall Convocation.
Increase Adjunct Pay through Professional Development
TILT offers three, self-paced trainings for adjunct faculty designed to provide FHSU faculty with skills in technology and online teaching in an immediately applicable and customizable format.
About the Courses
Each course is offered once during the fall semester and once during the spring semester. Each course runs six weeks; no textbook is required; all materials are posted to Blackboard where the adjunct instructor uses the student side to navigate the course.
