Distance Learning Policies and Procedures

Several Minnesota Adult Education policies relate to distance and digital education. The most current version of each of these policies is available on the Minnesota Adult Education Policy page, in the Law & Policy section of the mnabe.org website.

Pertinent policies include:

  • Distance Learning Policy
  • Eligible Content Policy
  • Staff Training Policy - As noted on page 2 of this policy, the Distance & Blended Learning Basics for Minnesota Adult Education course must be completed before engaging in any aspect of distance learning programming.
    • Modules 1-5 are required for instructional and administrative staff.
    • Module 5 is required for support staff with no instructional responsibilities.
    • Module 6 is required for teachers wishing to obtain TVM Certification.

 

The Digital Learning Team has developed these Suggested qualifications for Digital Literacy/Distance Learning teachers.

The Digital Learning Team approves distance learning (DL) platforms that meet state requirements for content and proxy hour reporting. A few select platforms that are broadly used are purchased for statewide access; other platforms are free for all users or must be purchased by programs that choose to use them. Below is information on how to submit a platform for review and potential approval.
