In order to be approved for proxy hours, a distance learning course must offer students opportunities for both instruction and practice.

Content should be appropriate for Adult Basic Education students and be eligible under ABE policy (see http://mnabe.org/abe-instruction for eligible content areas).

When posting content online, it is important to respect copyright law. We encourage teachers to use Open Educational Resources (materials openly shared and made available for teachers to reuse), such as those from CK12.org or Khan Academy. If you use copyrighted materials in your course, you should review guidelines such as those at: https://www.educationworld.com/a_curr/curr280.shtml and http://guides.lib.utexas.edu/copyright to make certain your use is allowable and does not violate the rights of content creators.

When considering copyright and fair use issues, keep in mind whether you plan to share this course with other instructors. Uses that may be acceptable under fair use guidelines for individual teachers may not be acceptable if the course is published for others to use.
