	A	B	C
1	Timestamp	College Name	Per your faculty contract, how do you pay faculty for new eLearning course development or modality conversion?

2	9/3/2013 15:17:32	Lower Columbia College	The following are suggested stipend amounts for requested eLearning course development that is not part of a faculty member’s regular workload agreement. The actual amount may vary, based on the individual requirements for each course. The stipend amount will be determined by the supervising administrator in consultation with the faculty member prior to development of the course.  New → Online $550 per credit Instructor will create a never before offered course from scratch, not drawing from a previously taught course. Instructor may use some preexisting electronic content from outside sources, but the project will require substantial work to create, organize and translate lesson materials. All required course activities and work will utilize the online medium.  Face 2 Face → Online $400 per credit Instructor will take an existing on-ground course and convert it to the online modality. All required course lessons, activities and assessments will occur in the online medium.  Face 2 Face → Hybrid $220 per credit Instructor will convert existing on-ground course to substantially take advantage of the online venue. Course will still meet regularly on-ground but a significant portion of the course lessons, activities, and assessments occur in the online venue.  Hybrid → Online $220 per credit Instructor will replace on-ground component from hybrid course so that all course lessons, activities, and assessments occur in the online venue.
3	9/3/2013 15:21:36	Cascadia Community College	we don't. Training is required by their contract. Sometimes I pay in donuts :)

5	9/3/2013 16:13:29	Pierce College - Military Program	The current contract has no provisions regarding payment for new eLearning course development or modality conversion. In lieu of payment: Ownership and Right of Use. The Faculty member retains decision-making authority regarding teaching methods, strategies, and techniques for the DLC consistent with classroom courses.
6	9/3/2013 16:19:29	Whatcom Community College	Payment for new eLearning course development is not stipulated in the faculty contract. Faculty can apply for course development funds and, depending upon fund availability and course conversion need, a stipend of $200 per credit may be awarded.
7	9/3/2013 18:06:32	Columbia Basin College	I don't believe it is addressed in the contract. We did at one time offer stipends for online course development, but they not well known, were offered sporadically, and there was no evaluation or review. We are discussing reintroducing stipends with some kind of quality standards required - either QM or something similar.
8	9/4/2013 8:17:36	WWCC	Stipend through Title3 for those who apply. Otherwise, it is considered part of course prep.
9	9/4/2013 16:49:45	Pierce FS and PY	Our contract is located on our Intranet and not generally accessible. Pay is available only when special funding is available, like Perkins or other grant/contract funds. Typically that funding carries expectations for completing the Teaching Online training and the course will be taught. Funding is now very rare. Faculty who develop online or hybrid courses are given an incentive in the form of the 'right of first refusal' when a developed course is offered in the schedule. The language states: "shall have the first right of refusal for teaching the first section of that course each quarter for 6 (six) quarters, as long as the instructor has received training, developed the course, and used the DLAC established instructional quality assessment system by the conclusion of the first academic year of teaching (or the first three sections taught.)"
10	9/23/2013 8:44:18	Highline Community College	There is no college-wide payment. Case-by-case stipends or release are provided, depending on grant funding or program requirements.
11	10/2/2013 13:51:03	Centralia College	Per contract, $150 per credit for a modality conversion.
12	10/14/2013 14:22:44	Clark College	Course development compensation is not covered in our faculty contract. The eLearning Department created a course development process that includes a timeline and compensation model that exists outside of the AHE agreement. The current compensation model is 5 hours of development payment for each credit hour of the course at the Other Assignment rate ($31.30). The course development compensation model is intended for faculty who are adapting existing curriculum to online and hybrid modalities. For example: 5 credit course x 5 hours x 31.30 = $782.50 3 credit course x 5 hours x 31.30 = $469.50 In addition the eLearning department may provide up to 15 hours of training and/or consultation payment. Those 15 hours may include: LMS Training, Quality Matters concepts, and peer review. This would provide up to 15 hours of additional compensation at the Other Assignment rate. This is a one-time payment; if multiple courses are developed we will not cover 15 hours of consultation per course. For example: 15 hours x 31.30 = $469.50
13	11/27/2013 10:57:45	Tacoma Community College	For new course design, eLearning pays faculty half up front and half after the course is reviewed and approved by our Instructional Designer. We use the Academic Employee Personnel Action Form and pay faculty based on the number of credits the course is that they are developing. It is the same payment for an adjunct moonlight teaching contract, at $753.00 per credit. For course re-tooling (a course more than 3 years old), we pay at half that rate ($376 per credit).
