Building a strong rapport of trust with our students is necessary for our institution to thrive and for our students to be successful.

It is important to give accurate and precise information to students and if you do not know the answer, refer the student to someone that can provide this information so we are not misleading our future students.

Make sure to give accurate and precise information when it comes to your institution and do not "guesstimate"!

Being honest and transparent with perspective students is so important! I also learned that if a student plans to transfer schools, it is up to each institution to decide if the credits will transfer to their school.

The Triad of Regulations work together to make sure that educational institutions are meeting certain criteria and benchmarks in student success rates as well as job placement rates.  I also learned that even though the University is accredited through a regulating body to receive Title IV funding, certain programs still have to go through state accreditation for licensure or certification.

Helping guide students to build upon prior knowledge is important. Our purpose as the instructor is to make sure that we are steering our students in the right direction and that they are achieving the level of comprehension necessary to be successful with the information at hand.

I have learned that consistency is important so that our online learners can quickly identify what it is we are looking for from them to be successful.

Institutions should develop a protocol for instructors to follow regarding the use of all types of information!!

Setting a good example for our online as well as in classroom students is so important.

Understanding fair use and copyright laws is so important and this is an area that I am not clear on. This lesson clarifies and answers many of my questions.
