how many hours per day are online classes
Based on its review of a sample of the student log-in records, ODE found that most students logged into ECOT's online platform for only about one hour per day, state lawyers told the court Monday. That's just a fraction of the six to seven hours per school day that students spend at a traditional school. It's also far less than the five hours per day students should spend, on average, to reach the 920 hours of learning the state requires over a school year, ECOT's own guidelines say. Those (ECOT's) records did not substantiate the number of educational hours for which ECOT had billed ODE, the state's lawyers added.
