Why become an online instructor?
At a university that is part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, our instructors have the unique opportunity to offer testimony and gospel perspective while sharing expertise in their discipline. Many who teach for BYU-Idaho, Ensign College, and BYU-Pathway Worldwide do so out of a desire to give back and bless the lives of future generations. Teaching online is ideal for those who value a flexible work/life schedule. Instructors have the flexibility to schedule those hours around their other obligations.
Online curriculum is pre-developed by BYU-Idaho and Ensign College content experts with the help of instructional designers. Typically, instructors do not do live video lectures.
Instructor Requirements
Online instructors are employees of OLL Services LLC, a staffing agency which is supported and guided by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Online instructors employed by the LLC are expected to support the missions, values, and standards of the institutions to which they are assigned to teach. All employees are required to agree to maintain the standards of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as defined by the Church Educational System Honor Code. They guide students to become capable disciple leaders in their personal and professional lives.
"Central to the effort of CES is our mission to develop disciples of Jesus Christ who are leaders in their home, in the Church of Jesus Christ and in their communities. No institutional decision is more important to us than the selection of employees, including faculty, as it has the greatest potential to impact our students."
Please Note: Current part-time employees of any entity of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints may not teach online in addition to their current employment. Retirees of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints entities are not eligible as it negates retirement benefits.
