Get Your Students Hired
I was not aware until now that a military recruiter can request certain information from the age of 17 and older.
There are a lot of challenges to consider when it comes to FERPA. FERPA includes student housing, software providers, and vendors if student information is included. There are other laws that need to be considered which affect decisions about FERPA law like HIPPA law, The Soloman Amendment, The USA Patriot Act, The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, and The Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). Online education students are protected under FERPA and students may not be anonymous while completing online work. Staff and students must be careful when posting information online. Youtube is a public website that should never be utilized for staff or student posts otherwise FERPA laws may be violated.
This segment was intriguing. I have been in education for a while, receiving FERPA training regularly. This acknowledged, I do not remember discussions of the USA Patriot Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Solomon Amendment, or Selvis. I anticipate referring back to this FERPA training. I have a heightened awareness to not share anything unless I know it is legal to do so.
This module again reiterates the importance of protecting student information and maintaining confidentiality. It also high lighted other acts such as HIPPA and the Solomon act that are directley related to FERPA. It was very interesting to see what information an institution is permitted to list publicly.
This module was extremely helpful in helping to identify and safeguard protected information in the educational setting.
I never considered the online teaching environment as it applies to FERPA. Protecting a student's information while participating in an online discussion or panel, must be addressed while at the same time implemented the educational requirements of the course or institution.
This section made more aware of how important it is to identify before releasing information.
I found it interesting to learn about the how the Solomon Act supersedes most elements of FERPA.
This section was helpful to learn of the different exceptions within FERPA, such as HIPAA, Soloman Amendment, Patriot Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and SEVIS
It is interesting to note how the different acts and amendments affect one another in terms of release of information.
The exceptions to where disclosing student information can be done with the proper request and reasons for said request.
The changing landscape of online classes and electronic records adds several additional layers of complexity to how we need to safeguard student data.
I learned that the E-Sign Act permits lenders, guaranty agencies, and institutions to use electronic signatures and electronic records in place of traditional signatures and records that, under the HEA and underlying regulations, otherwise must be provided or maintained in hard-copy format.
It's interesting how FERPA in union with other authorities and organizations look for protect our privacy and how the technology improves this process.
I was unaware of the military's position over FERPA. this does make since especially in times of war and threat of war
As a teacher, you are unaware that you cannot share student papers as a basic example without prior written authorization
I have learned that it is very complex and requires thought and not immediate action
