Once the agreement is signed I inform the student that the organization is approved and then it is up to them to facilitate their interview process and keep me updated with ...

Our process is pretty similar. I recorded our supervisor orientation so that it's something I can just send out in the future but will continue to conduct initial one-on-one meetings with sites. I'd like to make the orientation available in Moodle so that I can track that sites have actually watched ...
