Hi David.  You may be able to get some info. from UMUC (University of Maryland
University College), which has an increasing body of distance course developers
and teachers (of which I am one).  It's a topic that institution is currently
reviewing.  All UMUC are part-time faculty, as we are also business owners or
employees elsewhere.

Anecdotally, though, I do know that several institutions pay a premium to
recruit faculty into distance teaching.  Have you thought baout contacting ICDl
(International Centre for Distance Learning) at Open U. in the UK?  Regards,
Nora Carrol, president, The First Forward Institute.
