As administrators of educational programs, we also need the support of parent organizations to ensure the flexibility to maintain the ongoing requirements of developing faculty and ensuring they understand their role as a faculty member, within the program and within accreditation.
Asynchronous and synchronous communication and phased onboarding/orientation is a sure way to stitch in new faculty while making sure all levels of compliance are met and measureable.
It is significantly important to ensure that state and accreditation requirements are followed when hiring a new faculty. It is also important to provide a phased approach, asynchronous and synchronous, in training new faculty. This provides a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of online instruction.
Communication just like in any other business is key to success! Instructors need a consistent and reliable communication between the institution and the instructor and the instructor with the student.
It is critical for faculty members to understand programmatic accreditation requirements and adher to them. Taking the time to show new faculty this information can aid in their compliance with accreitation standards/ requirements.
