I learned to attend a whole class for incumbent observations. Do not make faces why observing. 

Understanding employment laws for the state you are in as well as the organization's requirements are important components when hiring faculty.

Experience in the clinical space is very important in bringing real-life situations to the classroom and adjunct faculty are often still practicing nurses.

Comment on Konstantin Tovarian's post: The market study is not the only to analyze the data to open new program. Demografic and trends are keys as well.

LMS can be different in other institutions.

Comment on Siran Craig's post: 

Using clear and consistent standards when assigning faculty responsibilities helps ensure fairness and supports strong educational outcomes. Considering factors such as credentials, licensing, teaching and clinical experience, workload, and student needs allows institutions to make balanced decisions and maintain high-quality instruction.

I learned that online instructors perform best when they have clear expectations and meaningful performance standards. Effective evaluations should focus on student engagement and overall instructional quality rather than only routine tasks. Ongoing professional development, regular feedback, and annual evaluations are also important for helping faculty strengthen their teaching and improve student outcomes.

This module emphasized the importance of understanding the faculty recruitment process while ensuring compliance with all applicable regulations. It also showed me that a structured onboarding process is essential for helping new instructors transition successfully into their roles.

This course helped me understand that selecting online instructors requires considering accreditation standards, school policies, and the expectations of students. It also reinforced how valuable real-world industry experience is in preparing students for professional success.

Going forward, I will focus on building stronger professional connections, using online recruiting resources more effectively, and choosing faculty whose qualifications support both compliance requirements and student success.
