Questions regarding terms in Higher Education

[3blackcats]

I'm getting ready to apply for a job at my alma marter (sp?) in Ontario !

But, I need help with some terms. I've worked for almost 6 years in Higher Ed in the US, but need help with the translations to Canadian Higher Ed terms.

508-compliant - this is making sure everything that is created is accesible. So, if you create a video, you have to make sure there are subtitles.

FERPA - privacy protection for students data. Meaning I can't look up a students grades and give them to anyone, etc.

Does anyone know the terms I would use on my resume for Ontario??

I'm not 100% sure, but maybe these?:

The "Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (AODA)": http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/sta...es_05a11_e.htm

The "Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act": http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/sta...es_90f31_e.htm

Which university is it (if you want to say)? You might want to do a search of their website or even call their Accessibility office/registrars office for advice.

For example, I found these for UofT:

http://www.adm.utoronto.ca/adm-awards/html/privacy.htm

HTH! Good luck!

Thanks! It's just a small college. They don't have much on their site.
