It is unfortunate that the times are changing and the government takes so long to keep up with it. E-learning has been around for years now, yet we still have so many people no quite understanding how it works properly in regards to copyrighting. I have a better understanding of how copyrights work as an educator. It can be challenging to understand the verbiage at times when you are not a lawyer.

Having members that engage is very important. Just being on the board, especially for small institutions, is simply a waste of time. Having these members that bring the energy, vital information, and are truly looking to improve the education of the future employees (most likely within the same said community) is truly a win-win situation. 

Advisory boards are a great way to stay abreast of the upcoming and changes that are happening in the industry. They also are a good source to ensure that the schools curricula are teaching the students skills that employers are seeking. The boards are giving us a great view and can suggests ideas to improve the students experience and education overall.
