Illinois Mortgage Lending Guide

Tips for Avoiding a Predatory Mortgage Loan

What is predatory mortgage lending?
A predatory mortgage is a needlessly expensive home loan that provides no financial benefit to the borrower in return for the extra costs. In many cases, homeowners are deceived about the loan’s true costs and terms or are pressured into signing loans they cannot afford. Many of these homeowners lose their homes to foreclosure.

If you’re in the market for a home loan, here are some questions you should ask and common predatory lending practices of which you should be aware. Because the information in this Guide is by no means complete, you should always have an attorney review all loan documents before you sign them. If you cannot afford an attorney, you should bring all of your loan documents to a HUD-certified housing counseling agency for review. To find a housing counseling agency in your area, see the list of agencies at the back of this Guide.

Educational Guide to Automobile Insurance

Who needs auto insurance?

Suppose you have an auto accident and you hurt or kill someone, damage someone else’s property or damage your own car. If you are found legally responsible, Missouri’s Motor Vehicle Financial Responsibility Law requires you to pay for the other person’s injuries and damages. If you can’t pay, you can lose your driving privileges or even risk a criminal conviction and time in jail.

Most Missourians rely on automobile liability insurance to prove they are financially responsible.

Automobile liability insurance protects you from paying a large amount of money at the time of an accident if the accident is your fault and protects the victims against their losses. Besides liability and uninsured motorist insurance, you may also want to consider insuring your car against damages caused by collision, fire, theft, windstorm or hail.

When deciding to buy automobile insurance, or any other insurance, you should ask:

Mind-Mapping for Web Instruction and Learning

Introduction
In a recent overview of instructional design for the new digital media, M. David Merrill declares that:

Many of the current tools for developing technology-based training materials require considerable time to learn and even more time to use. Too often in the search for efficiency, there is a corresponding loss of instructional quality. A […] goal of instructional science is the search for tools that are significantly more efficient to use while at the same time promoting an improved quality in the product. [1]

Assuming this situation, this paper has the purpose of defining a more efficient method for transforming instructional events and strategies into Web-based learning objects. Educators, in any level of curriculum and discipline, can easily use it. This statement of purpose demands further clarification of the terms used. What kind of method is this? Why is to be used by educators? What is an instructional event? What is an instructional strategy? What is a learning object? How can one describe Web-based learning objects? The remainder of the introduction will be dedicated to provide a brief explanation of these terms to set the basis for further discussion.
