District Guidelines

• EdNet10 requires that if districts decide to share courses between and/or among each other a written agreement be developed. The agreement will detail the share services including, but not limited to: holiday/professional development days when classes will be cancelled, delivery options when holidays/professional development day conflicts occur, grading procedures, transfer of funds (if any), textbook issues, reproduction costs, postage costs, and courier service procedures.

• All districts, other than the Host site, are responsible for designating an individual to be designated as site manager. (Host sites have already accomplished this with a signed agreement) Site managers will receive training regarding their roles and responsibilities. At a minimum, the Site Manager must be available to open room, turn on the system, verify equipment operation and be in close proximity should assistance be required.

• Local school districts are to ensure that all instructors have completed a professional development program on teaching by videoconference prior to the start of classes.

 

College and University Guidelines

• All faculties should participate in videoconference training prior to delivering instruction on the system.

• Course syllabi should be furnished to the local school districts at least six weeks prior to registration.

• Each college/university should furnish a single point of contact with admission requirements and registration procedures at least one semester in advance of scheduling.

• Colleges/universities should provide a list of courses to be taught twelve weeks prior to the start of the next semester.

• Colleges/universities will see that the delivery of courses complies with Coordinating Board requirements.

• College/university faculty will follow established EdNet10 procedures for the transfer of materials to the school districts. Any emergency reproduction of handouts will be charged to the university at the rate established by the school district.

• The calendar used for the delivery of courses will be agreed upon by university/college and participating district in conjunction with the EdNet10 Videoconference Network Scheduler.

• Any adjustments to the calendar or to scheduled class dates will be reported to the local districts and the single point of contact at the college/university as soon as possible.

• If students are receiving dual credit for the delivery of a course(s) by the college/university, a numerical grade report will be furnished to the high school principal at three-week intervals. A numerical grade must be furnished to the school upon completion of the course.
