Abstract


Business program’s accreditation standards include documenting communications with stakeholders. Many communications with students, important stakeholders, occur using informal methods – like announcements in class, emails, etc. One option is to add to course syllabi handed out at the beginning of class. As the amount of information increases, this becomes an unwieldy solution. With the increased usage of Learning Management Systems (LMS), another option presents itself. A common course component can be created and shared among the program’s faculty. Using the LMS, the component can be maintained in one place and, at the beginning of the semester, copied to all courses. A business program’s common component for communicating various polices and assessment results is discussed.
