Nev. Admin. Code § 483.778 - Courses taught by correspondence; interactive courses that use communications technology
1. A school for
drivers may teach a course by correspondence only if the school is approved by
the Department for teaching the course in the classroom.
2. A school for training drivers may teach an
interactive course that uses communications technology only if:
(a) The school for training drivers is
approved by the Department for teaching the course in the classroom;
and
(b) The communications
technology system is approved by the Department.
3. A course given by correspondence or an
interactive course that uses communications technology must have the same
content as the course given in the classroom and:
(a) If given by correspondence, must entail
at least 8 hours of study for its completion by an average student;
or
(b) If given by communications
technology, must consist of a sequence of units of instruction, each of which
entails at least as many hours of study for its completion by an average
student as such a student would require to complete that unit in a
classroom.
4. Before the
Department will approve any specific communications technology for use in a
school for training drivers, the school for training drivers must satisfy the
Department that:
(a) The communications
technology accurately measures and records the amount of time spent by a
student to complete a unit of instruction, and that the student will be
required to take the final examination for the course in person at the place of
business of the school for training drivers; or
(b) The communications technology:
(1) Accurately measures and records the
amount of time spent by a student to complete a unit of instruction;
(2) Prevents a student working on one unit of
instruction of a course from advancing to a subsequent unit of instruction if
the student:
(I) Fails to complete the current
unit; or
(II) Completes the current
unit in less time than required in the course syllabus;
(3) Includes a system of validation criteria
that:
(I) Establishes the identity of the
student working on each unit of instruction; and
(II) Prevents a student who fails to satisfy
10 percent or more of the validation criteria from:
(i) Performing any additional work on that
unit; and
(ii) Receiving a
certificate of completion for the course; and
(4) Generates a report that includes, without
limitation, for each student:
(I) The full
legal name of the student;
(II) The
date and time that the student begins and ends each work session; and
(III) The total actual time spent by a
student to complete each unit.
5. The operator of a school for drivers must
submit a report to the Department whenever a student enrolls in a course taught
by correspondence or an interactive course that uses communications technology
at the referral of the Department, a court or other entity. The report must
include the full legal name of the student, his or her social security number,
date of birth and address of principal residence and the name of the entity
that referred the student to the school.
6. Each student enrolled in a course taught
by correspondence or an interactive course that uses communications technology
must take a final examination and, except as otherwise provided in this
section, sign a notarized statement, under penalty of perjury, that the student
took the examination. If the student is under 18 years of age, a parent or
legal guardian must sign the statement. The examination and the signed
statement must be maintained in the school's file for the student and be made
available for inspection by the Department.
