* Michigan is the first state to have an online learning requirement effective with the graduation class of 2011--next year's ninth graders.
* Required to have an online experience of 20 hours sometime between 6 - 12th grade
* Using and incorporating the METS (Michigan Educational Technology Standards) into each of the student's required credits will ensure that this requirement is met. |

In order to fulfill the Online Experience requirement through incorporating the 20 hours of online learning experiences, it should be noted that quality online learning experiences have common characteristics and meet Michigan Educational Technology standards. While each experience may not address every characteristic, it is assumed that upon completion of the minimum collective 20 hours of experiences, each of the following characteristics will have been represented: Collaborative experience between students, Life-long Learning Skills, Integrated, Sustainability, Online Ethics and Safety and Teacher Involvement.
