Q: Do you have a suggestion for best practices for how to pay an instructor who teaches an online class? Is there a flat fee? Per student fee? Hourly Fee? A combination of some or all of these methods.

A: The most common way is to pay a percentage. LERN's online payment offers a percentage (20%) of income with a minimum payment of $500, regardless of registration numbers. This means we do not pay for course development costs separately. In some cases, when there are courses with very high enrollments, we offer a higher percentage for enrollments over an established point, such as 35.
