Abstract
In the dynamic landscape of higher education in the United States, adjunct faculty have emerged as a crucial and often unappreciated component of academic institutions. With financial budget issues, adjunct faculty often lack support and resources for quality education. By leveraging online technology and free resources properly, adjunct faculty can save time and effort in various aspects in the process of course design and delivery. This chapter explores three topics that will help analyze and address the existing adjunct faculty issues and identify the best solution to assist adjunct faculty in online teaching. They are: 1) using online Course Management Systems for effective course design, management and delivery; 2) leveraging social media platforms to create an inclusive and engaging learning environment for diverse learners; and 3) integrating AI technology to enhance the quality of online education.
