Get Your Students Hired
As critical as it is, it is imperative to post the following laws - HIPAA, the Solomon Amendment, the U.S. Patriot Act, the Gramm-Leach-Bailey Act and SEVIS on College bulletin board to support daily visitation of their significance by the School Community. Sometime, employees need this level of reminder in order to keep tabs with these laws and regulations.
I have a better understanding of whether I can provide information to non-governmental organizations.
It's amazing to know how many departments or entites are governed by FERPA. Didnt know how critical it was to have student housing facilities (whether the rent is paid directly by students or by the institution on their behalf) are subject to FERPA.
great learning opportunity for staff who works on the back-end of the institution when working with students.
Institutions must take appropriate cautions while dealing with students and social media as to not violate student rights.
I just wonder how FERPA addresses the protection and security of the confidential data from cyber attack. What the security requirements?
Many good information were covered in this Module, I learned even sharing information W/O permission is not accepted.
I agree with Judy's comment about anonymity in online discussions. If students cannot remain anonymous in a face-to-face class than they should not be able to do so in an online setting.
I learned that FERPA has a lot more underneath it than basic rules -- like the other Acts involved!
I learned that FERPA has set requirements for online-only courses and that attendence is one of those.
I never knew about these different laws and it makes sense to why they created them. I will definatley pay attention to them and follow as directed. As for teaching online, I do know how it can be very challenging, however if you use common sense you should be able to follow the laws.
There is much more to keeping information and knowing when to release it than I anticipated. goo dinformation
Most important topic I learned in this section was that in case of a student has opted out of the institution’s release of Directory Information, it is important that the record protection is managed for all departments that may use this—such as a marketing department managing a Facebook page, a school newspaper, or anywhere that such Directory Information is regularly released.
Despite the risk of information security risks by hackers or other unauthorized access, today’s systems generally improve opportunities for institutions to share information directly with a student.
I was surprised about some of the other entities that can get student information without student consent. That FERPA does not take presidence over some of these, i.e. USA Patriot Act .
HIPAA has solid standards which protect health information and in some situations can be disclosed with parents of students. I had heard of HIPAA, but I was new to learn about Solomon's Act and found that quite interesting in the effect of military relations.
