It is important to understand laws governing employment which can very state to state.
As I am hiring online faculty ensure I understand the state requirements and my institutional requirements for faculty education.
Contacting adjunts can be a challenge, using cell phones to contact the instructors is a great asset for communication
Each of the communication channels discussed like emails provides the opportunity to be electronically recorded and maintained indefinitely for future reference.
One must consider where the faculty member resides as employment laws vary from state to state.
When hiring new faculty, the orientation process is a crucial time to introduce them to the mission, culture, policies, and important compliance/regulatory matters. It is critical to review both general employment regulations and specific faculty requirements.
Very interesting to learn about phases to do the onboarding for new faculty. Also the suggestions to do the online training with the LMS
The consideration of regulations, both general and governmental.
Clarifying how policies support accreditation compliance helps faculty understand key areas of focus.
Learned about the regulations with employment of online faculty. Need to have training in LMS that we use.
It is importance for new online faculty to receive guided practice and instruction on their new school's implementation of their Learning Management System even if they have used it before at other schools.

When orienting online faculty to the course they will be teaching, it would be beneficial to have an online orientation in stages rather than a one-time orientation.
This module provided valuable insights into the importance of structured onboarding for new online faculty. I learned that a well-designed onboarding process not only helps faculty acclimate to institutional expectations but also fosters engagement, confidence, and long-term success. Key takeaways include the necessity of clear communication, mentorship opportunities, and continuous professional development to support faculty in navigating online teaching environments.
Onboarding new faculty is extremely important. Faculty should be provided the opportunity to understand expectations, LMS platform and "way of working" prior to starting. This will not only help the faculty member get acclimated to everything but can also ensure faculty member is prepared. Preparation, understanding, communication and engagement can lead to overall good learning experience for students.
He aprendido a cerca de las consideraciones antes de contratar profesorado.
Por lo que, antes de contratar tendré en cuenta las normas generales de empleo y los requisitos específicos del profesorado.
In terms of regualtory affairs, general employment regulations , as well as specific faculty requirements must be met when hiring faculty in any state.
Explaining how the policies keep everything compliant with accreditation is beneficial for faculty to know what's a crucial focus.
