The Faculty Lounge is a place where the teachers at Quilt University gather to share their thoughts, problems and solutions.
This page contains a brief overview for prospective teachers. We have tried to provide some basic guidelines about teaching online in Tips for Success. There is also a forum for teachers only. When you join the faculty, you will receive your password.
Teachers pay a small annual fee to join the faculty and then a percentage of their tuition to QuiltUniversity.com. The staff will put your lessons into the proper format and handle all technical considerations.
Class content must be original. In other words, if you are teaching a project or technique that is from a book, you must be the author. Students cannot be required to purchase the book.

Currently, we have 40 teachers on the faculty and over 120 classes. We are not looking for any basic technique or simple project classes at this time.
