There was a significant overlap between proposed policies, (6172.6) Instruction On-line credit to the Distance Learning Policy and 6172.61.Instruction Credit for Online Courses.The statutory criteria were already included in Policy 6172.61 (Credit for Online Courses). As a result, it makes sense for the Board to consider and approve combining these two policies. The single policy governs all credits for online and virtual learning. |
