The CAEP Office, in collaboration with adult education programs across the State, have compiled a snapshot of online tools and courses adult schools and colleges are using to serve adult education students. This is just a starter list - we are sure there are more innovative methods out there.

Please keep in mind offering online courses is an allowable option for the CAEP – just make sure it’s one of the seven CAEP program areas, the students are 18 and over, the curriculum has been approved, and the CAEP funding for online courses is in your plan and budget approved by the consortium.

The CDE has issued a memo regarding helpful resources via the OTAN website under the COVID-19 Field Support button. These resources include distance and on-line learning for students, professional development for instructors to teach in a distance or on-line learning format, and information for collecting distance learning hours in CASAS TOPSpro Enterprise.

The National Reporting System (NRS) does not allow for remote testing. Therefore, WIOA II grantees may not do any CASAS testing remotely. Agencies will have to test students upon the reopening of classes. In an effort to gain a better understanding of the statewide actions taking place, the CDE has developed a short Emergency Situation Impact Survey. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey. 

The Chancellor’s Office continues to support colleges as they work to protect students, staff, faculty and administrators. Please visit the Chancellor’s Office COVID-19 webpage for a comprehensive list of resources, answers to frequently asked questions and collateral materials. In addition, this webpage lists the most current memos to provide guidance on how to request an Emergency Distance Education Blanket Addendum ,   emergency planning for instructional interruptions , and attendance accounting implications and approved exceptions .

 

Hanover Research conducted ten (10) in-depth interviews with administrators in small institutions involved in online program implementation. This report is intended to support institutions in developing strategies for creating online learning opportunities.
