At Georgia Perimeter College, Online Teaching Has Its Benefits--Tenure
Feintuch, Howard
Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, v25 n18 p28 Oct 2008
This article discusses an online-only tenure track program at Georgia Perimeter College (GPC) where full-time online-only professors achieve tenure under the same conditions as classroom professors. That means teaching for five years at the rank of assistant professor, or higher, before being eligible to apply for tenure. The professor then is evaluated by a series of committees for his teaching effectiveness, service and professional accomplishments related to school. Dr. Mark Griffin, executive director for GPC online, says the online-only tenure track program allows them to develop a core group of professors who are experts not only in the discipline they are teaching, but also in teaching in the online medium itself. GPC's online tenure track program has attracted the attention of other college administrators who want to implement such a program at their own institutions.
