Zusammenfassung:This paper presents models of faculty compensation for teaching and development of asynchronous learning (ALN) courses. Faculty members' concerns include teaching workload, course development effort, and ownership of intellectual property associated with ALN teaching. The models presented show that the system for adjusting faculty compensation for traditional courses can accommodate ALN course development and teaching. Models for ALN teaching include regular pay, augmented regular pay, overload pay, pay-per-class, and pay-per student. Models for ALN course development include paid development, unpaid development, royalty, and share of revenue. The problem of assigning ownership of ALN intellectual property must be resolved if faculty are to fully embrace ALN teaching methods. (Contains 16 references.) (Author/MES)
