This module was extremely helpful in helping to identify and safeguard protected information in the educational setting. 

good info

I never considered the online teaching environment as it applies to FERPA. Protecting a student's information while participating in an online discussion or panel, must be addressed while at the same time implemented the educational requirements of the course or institution. 

This section made more aware of how important it is to identify before releasing information. 

I found it interesting to learn about the how the Solomon Act supersedes most elements of FERPA. 

This section was helpful to learn of the different exceptions within FERPA, such as HIPAA, Soloman Amendment, Patriot Act, Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and SEVIS

It is interesting to note how the different acts and amendments affect one another in terms of release of information.

The exceptions to where disclosing student information can be done with the proper request and reasons for said request. 

The changing landscape of online classes and electronic records adds several additional layers of complexity to how we need to safeguard student data. 

I found that there is a hierarchy, there are other agencies that supersede FERPA. 

I learned that the E-Sign Act permits lenders, guaranty agencies, and institutions to use electronic signatures and electronic records in place of traditional signatures and records that, under the HEA and underlying regulations, otherwise must be provided or maintained in hard-copy format.

It's interesting how FERPA in union with other authorities and organizations look for protect our privacy and how the technology improves this process.

I was unaware of the military's position over FERPA. this does make since especially in times of war and threat of war

Interesting and informative FERPA information.

As a teacher, you are unaware that you cannot share student papers as a basic example without prior written authorization

I have learned that it is very complex and requires thought and not immediate action

Permission from the student prior to posting socially even if it is an agreed upon assignment. 

Never heard of the Solomon Act or considered the Patriot Act regarding students and terrorism.

ad no ideal that the goverment can access without consent 

Students cannot be anonymous in distance learning, they must be engaged through the use of discussion boards, lectures, etc. Records protected by FERPA are not subject to HIPPA and the Solomon Amendment supercedes FERPA.  Third party vendors are subject to FERPA.
