Proxy Contact Hours
States can optionally measure and report estimates of student contact hours (proxy hours) with these methods Clock Time –elapsed time that a learner is engaged online
or with software that tracks time Teacher Verification–hours for assignments based on
teacher determination of time needed to complete assignment
Learner Mastery--hours based on the learner passing a test on the content of each assignment
Proxy methods must match curricula and be described in state policy
