Distance Learning - VIRTUAL INSTRUCTION

 

1.    Establish your Course

a. The CD must first fill out an OHC Virtual Course Approval Form and email it to administrativesupport@caohc.org to be approved. Once a CD is approved to teach fully virtual OHC courses, they only need to complete this form if they significantly alter how they conduct their audiometric testing practicum.

b. Submit a Course Approval Form to register your course with the CAOHC office.

c. This form must be filled out completely, including the date and time the exam is scheduled, otherwise it cannot be approved.

d. The course MUST be registered at least 15 days prior to the course start date.

e. Once the course is approved, the CD will be emailed a notification with the course approval certificate attached.

2.    Course Setup

a. Send out the exam registration link provided by CAOHC to the students.

• It is strongly recommended that the CD distribute the registration link to the students on the first day of the course and walk them through the process. Students will receive a confirmation email upon successful registration.
• Students should have a working email that is accessible during exam time. If they need to update their email and are unable to access their account, they should contact administrativesupport@caohc.org.

b. Accommodate students with special requirements

In accordance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) CAOHC provides testing accommodations for students who require it. The student must notify the Course Director prior to the exam and have documentation to attest to their need for accommodations such as:

•    Recommendations of qualified professionals
•    Proof of past testing accommodations
•    Observations by educators
•    Results of psycho-educational or other professional evaluations
•    An applicant’s history of diagnosis
•    An applicant’s statement of his or her history regarding testing accommodations

Should a student approach you to request testing accommodation, please notify the CAOHC office as soon as possible. For more information, you can visit the US Department of Justice website for ADA requirements.
