  1. WAOL Advisory Group Monday, October 15, 2012

  2. Agenda: • Meeting Schedule: http://goo.gl/QS2Wi • State Authorization • Blackboard Collaborate Check-in • Tegrity Check-in • ANGEL Check-in • Canvas Update Next meeting – October 29th– same time, same place

  3. State Authorization • USDOE regulation requiring state authorization was vacated by US District Court and that ruling was upheld June 5 by the US Court of Appeals, and that ruling remanded to DOE.  So it’s still not over.  However, state laws remain on the books. • The regulation was vacated not because the state laws are illegal but because the US Dept of Ed didn’t follow the correct process—so it’s just a technical ruling.  Still must be done. • Remember the requirement to provide complaint contacts for out-of-state students was not vacated. This is for all students. • http://wcetblog.wordpress.com/2011/07/19/federal-student-complaint-regulation-%E2%80%93-clarifying-misconceptions/ • More information on this wiki: http://stateregulations.wikispaces.com/
