4 Steps that Chris Rice also uses in his EADs at UK: Meet (are we listening? reach out to students to understand their learning preferences and motivations for taking a course) Show (did we do it? develop learning solutions based on today's students and validate through interative process to ensure ideal product mix) Test (do you like it? gain faculty approval to finalize the product and content mix specific to each discipline) Work (are you in? publish the student-tested, faculty-approved teaching and learning solution) Rest (are you kidding? our research never ends, continual feedback from students ensures that we keep up with their changing needs)

A study published recently in Business Education Digest (Keith, Perreault, and Chin 2009) explores students' perceptions of how prevalent and consequential ethical questions are in the business world. Surveys of business students at a midwestern university revealed that while 83 percent of students either "agree" or "strongly agree" that "situations where ethics may be called into question are frequently encountered in business," students underrate the ethical consequence of several potential conflicts....they found that women were more likely than men to believe that personal ethics and corporate behaviors should align and that ethics are essential to success.... women and men shared similar and relatively lax beliefs about what kinds of disciplinary action are appropriate, reinforcing the researchers' beliefs that more ethics education is necessary for business students.

"social teaching" initiative with peer reviewers to identify the best teachers for any concept who then put their instruction for that concept online as "learning packets" for use by anyone free of charge - universities will be able to privatize parts of it to attach to student IDs and track progress for a fee - Capella Education has invested in this initiative also, http://chronicle.com/blogs/wiredcampus/social-teaching-company-gets-buy-in-from-capella-education/29466?sid=wc&utm_source=wc&utm_medium=en

Great approach to helping instructors understand some basic issues of student privacy and the role of social media. This kind of argument might encourage people to assign the use of (and contribution to) open educational resources. "FERPA was never intended to place students into the box of a physical or online classroom to prevent them from learning from the public."
