If you are not working remotely for your own convenience, then you would not be subject to taxation by Nebraska if you never work in the state. If at some point you did visit the school and work at the school, then your income would be subject to Nebraska taxes. As an online teacher, you are teaching online students. The school would not maintain an office or a classroom for you and would require you to provide your own office for their convenience.
If you are video lecturing students who are on campus in a classroom, watching you on the screen, then you would have a hard time saying that this was for the employers convenience and not for yours. If it is for theirs, you are not subject to Nebraska tax. If it is for your convenience, then you are subject to Nebraska tax, even if you never go to Nebraska.
It really all comes down to WHY you are working remotely. If the school is having you do it because of their set up or if it is just an employee perk.
"If the nonresident's service is performed without Nebraska for his or her convenience, but the service is directly related to a business, trade, or profession carried on within Nebraska and except for the nonresident's convenience, the service could have been performed within Nebraska, the compensation for such services shall be Nebraska source income.
When a taxpayer has performed some service in this state and the base of operations, or, if there is no base of operations, the place from which the services are directed or controlled is in this state, the compensation paid by a business, trade, or profession for all services of the taxpayer shall be income from Nebraska sources." Chapter 22
