How I did it: I taught at a for profit university (ground) not online.  TThe classes are in the evening and very flexible. (5 weeks only, different nights of the week).  I enjoyed the interaction with students and gave me back the one thing I missed from leaving academia.

Lessons & tips: If you miss the classroom, teaching part time is a great gig. Full time it's really hard to break into the well paying jobs.  The gig I have is not well paying but II enjoy teaching a lot more now that I don't have to earn my sole income from it.  It's only great if you are at a big university and have tenure, a very small number of people now compared to the whole enterprise of post-secondary teaching.    Plus there is that whole "multiple income streams" theory in this economy. Don't rely on just one source of income for everything.

Resources: the college trained me to their format and they provide a lot of the modules so most of the work is done for you, you can just personalize it.
