| Teacher/QuiltCampus
Responsibilities |
| Teachers pick out
workshops or classes they have not given online for at least
6 months. After choosing a class to teach, they fill out the
Teacher Application on the Teacher
at QuiltCampus page. A picture of the finished project
the students will make during the class must be provided with
the application. |
| QuiltCampus reviews
all applications. When a class is accepted, a Starter
Contract in PDF format is sent to the teacher. |
| Teachers then perform
the requested tasks. The class must be written in both text
and picture format which is similar to writing chapters in a
book. The QuiltCampus editor works with the teacher and when
the lessons are ready, they are forwarded electronically to
the QuiltCampus web developer. Photos can also be sent through
the post office. |
| All class materials
are self-contained. Students do not need to obtain anything
external to take to class. This includes patterns. Patterns
required for classes are presented as PDF files during classes.
If needed, QuiltCampus will help teachers in converting patterns
to PDF format. |
| All class content
provided by teachers must be their original work. Classes
cannot be taken from books or classes previously taught by others. |
| QuiltCampus will
set up the web pages, a forum and a gallery for the class. |
|
After the Starter
Contract tasks have been performed, a date is set
to give the class. All classes start on a Saturday. A new
lesson is presented each weekend until all the lessons are
online.
|
| Teachers will be
sent a formal contract. |
| QuiltCampus advertises
classes and collects student fees. |
| QuiltCampus also
sets up a password protected forum
for each class. This enables teachers and students to discuss
their classes while they are being presented. Class Forums open
on the Wednesday preceding each class, giving teachers and students
the opportunity to meet and get to know one another ahead of
time. |
| A photo
gallery is provided for each class enabling students to
share and view their work with teachers and fellow students.
This sharing is a very important part of every class. |
| Teachers are available
to answer student questions from class start dates to two weeks
after the last lesson appears online. The preset Forum at QuiltCampus
is used for this purpose. |
| Teachers are paid
their portion of class fees after classes end. |
