DL Platform Approval Application
The State Supplemental Service Distance Learning Grant coordinates DL platforms/curricula approval for state-wide use:
1) For DL platforms in which unit completion determines proxy hour awards, we make recommendations to the state ABE office regarding approval, based on review of completed applications.
2) For platforms with built-in time-on-task tracking features which determine proxy hours, all platforms that are ABE appropriate will be approved when a complete and adequate approval form (this form) is received and reviewed. We need to collect and report basic information on these platforms to inform the field via the MNABE DL website: https://www.literacymn.org/distancelearning 
Email thysom@real-time.com with any questions.

Please note:
a) We do not accept applications from publishers; we only accept them from MN ABE program staff.
b) To request approval for teacher created content/lessons/curricula, complete this form for time-on-task courses: <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1307HmHrMmfL9Mg6YW3NfFzB4MjhJ0-whjB1yMcivnVQ/edit>
c) Complete this form for Unit Completion courses: <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1moGSHJ3I7OJbZLuvvhhacZrIEomhCSt_4P5EuE1DIhw/edit>.

Other information:
1. Please consider exploring, learning, and using one of the many already-approved DL platforms. There's lots of resources for you to get started here: https://www.literacymn.org/distancelearning/dl-platforms 
2. If, after exploring the currently approved platforms, you find that none of them meet your needs, please be as complete and thorough as possible in your responses. This will prevent the need for multiple follow-up emails if DL staff have questions about your application, which can lengthen the approval process and time.
3. Please submit a screencast (https://screencast-o-matic.com ) in or with the application that shows how to access or run relevant reports from the admin/teacher side for time on task or proxy hour collection.
