Recently, I created two new FERPA training resources.
FERPA Whiteboard
I created a 1-page visual summary of FERPA, which I call the FERPA Whiteboard. The idea was to summarize HIPAA in a concise and visually-engaging way. You can download a PDF handout version here. We’ve been licensing it to many organizations for training and awareness purposes.
FERPA Interactive Whiteboard
I subsequently created a new training module — an interactive version of the FERPA Whiteboard — the FERPA Interactive Whiteboard. When people click on each topic, the program provides brief narrated background information, presented in a very understandable and memorable way. Trainees can learn at their own pace. This program is designed to be very short — it is about 5 minutes long.
It can readily be used on internal websites to raise awareness and teach basic information about FERPA. It can also be used in learning management systems.
