conducted via webinar by a representative from IDEA on "How to complete your
Faculty Information Form (F.I.F.)". All KU faculty will be required to complete
these forms each semester prior to teaching courses scheduled for student

traditional on-campus courses) and the online version of this form (that will be
available for faculty teaching Distance Education courses or computer lab
