I work at a distance learning school and often times it is hard to gauge how effective the orientation is since there are no in-person demonstrations or face-to-face discussions. What methods should we use to make sure the instructor is prepared for the job?

When to advertise?

My school doesn't want to start its marketing campaign until the end of the year but wants to go ahead and get our name out there without getting too many leads. Any ideas on the best way to do this?

How effective are advertising agencies?
