Wyoming Administrative Code › Agency 206 - Education, Dept. of › Sub-Agency 0002 - General Agency, Board or Commission Rules › Chapter 41 - Virtual Education › Section 41-8 - Use of a Learning Management System, Data Collection and Reporting

Current through July 13, 2024
(a) Any district
				that is a virtual education provider shall use a learning management system
				(LMS) to administer, document, track, report, and deliver virtual education
				courses.
(b) Any district that is a
				virtual education provider shall have the option of utilizing a centralized
				learning management system established by the Department. A district may
				instead elect to establish an individual or independent learning management
				system provided such system is capable of being used, and is used with regard
				to each active virtual education course, to administer, document, track,
				report, and deliver virtual education courses. Any individual or independent
				learning management system must also be designed and operated such that
				appropriate personnel from the district in which any student participating in
				any virtual education course is enrolled are able to utilize the virtual
				education program provider's learning management system to monitor student
				progress and participation and to collect participation data, as needed, for
				purposes of state-required reporting.
(c) Providers delivering virtual education
				courses shall collect in a learning management system student participation and
				completion rates based on the course-specific participation requirements
				approved by the Department, including equivalent attendance, as specified in
				Section 10 of this chapter. The provider shall collect this information in a
				learning management system and record and maintain it in the district's
				permanent student information system or other Department-approved reporting
				system.
(d) A district electing to
				use a Department-approved reporting system in lieu of a district's permanent
				student information system for purposes of collecting the information described
				in subsection (c) of this section, shall ensure that its reporting system
				includes all elements needed to satisfy Department-required data collections
				and enables compliance with all Federal, State, and local requirements
				regarding data collection, student data privacy, and data security.
(e) Data collection is ultimately the
				responsibility of the virtual education provider and each virtual education
				teacher who is the instructor of an active virtual education course.
(i) A part-time virtual education provider
				shall enable the district in which any virtual education student is enrolled to
				access the provider's LMS and shall establish through a course and services
				agreement any data or information that the district-assigned learning coach is
				responsible for recording. A district-assigned learning coach may delegate data
				collection and reporting to another district employee as appropriate.
(ii) A full-time virtual education provider
				shall enable the family-designated learning coach of any student enrolled in an
				active virtual education course to access the provider's LMS for purposes of
				recording student participation in the course and monitoring student
				progress.
