Online Driver Education
My goal here is to look at Distance
Education
ECU’s Driver Education online
• I have been online for 10 years
• Did you know? 16% of those stopped in
road blocks have drugs in their system?
• We are changing impairments in the US.
• The brain can take in information 15 times
faster than someone can talk?
6,000,000 ACCIDENTS EACH
YEAR in the US.
There are 1 billion vehicles on the
road in the world
That number will be 2 billion in 10
years.
1.2 million people will die this year

Convenience
Time savings

Better structured instruction
But what is our goal?

You take the teacher out of the
equation

• Technology boring students. The
Chronicle of Higher Education. July 21,

• Face to face better. Herbert J. Walberg
Herbert J. Walberg
• Walberg lists several components, like
clearly identified academic standards,
direct teaching, and encouraging
increased parental involvement, that when
used together, improve learning.
Does the delivery of classroom
material suffer online?
•
•
•
•
•
Who wrote the curriculum?
Is the material outdated, etc?
Is the curriculum better?
What are the kids learning?
Are they prepared for the BTW?
FYI, online cheaters
•
•
•
•
•
•
We are a nation of law breakers
75-80% of students report they cheat
50% see nothing wrong with it
95% say they have never been caught
Using ethics to prevent?
Make it harder to cheat
Online instruction is only as good
as the STUDENT wants it to be

Welcome to the VADETS Online Driver Education Course! We look forward to
contributing to your driving success and keeping you collision free! Experienced
Virginia driver education teachers designed this course and welcome any
suggestions you may have to improve this learning experience.
During this course, you will have the opportunity to explore a variety of driving
situations and learn how to minimize driving risks by effectively managing visibility,
time, space, and available tire traction.
As you know, driving is an essential life skill; and you, as a good driver, can contribute
positively to the driving world. This course allows you to work at your own pace to
gain a solid understanding of the essential traffic safety concepts. The only thing
standing between you and success is effort.
•
At the end of each topic, there is a quiz to check your level of understanding, and a
test at the end of the module to see if you have the proficiency to move on to the next
module. On the test, you must answer at least 85% of the questions correctly before
proceeding to the next module.
To assist in your studies, there is a student workbook. The workbook should be
completed online as you study each topic. Save the workbook to your desktop each
time you work on it. At the end of each module, there will be a command on your
course menu to upload the workbook. This workbook is a course requirement and
must be completed.

•
A Virginia driver education teacher will review your work and answer any questions or help clear
up any concepts you do not understand. You may communicate with your teacher through the
message center.
If you have any questions or require help during your course studies, use the "Contact your
teacher" option provided in your message menu to notify your teacher, this feature will
automatically alert your teacher that you require his/her assistance.
•
To increase accountability, the final examination must be monitored. The exam monitoring
form is posted at the top of your course menu.
When you complete the course, your teacher will review your work and you will receive a
classroom completion certificate (DEC-1) by US mail if all work is satisfactory. You will be notified
if any of your work needs to be redone. This certificate will allow you to enroll in a public, private or
commercial school behind-the-wheel driver education program.
To be eligible for a 180-day temporary license, you will not only need to successfully complete this
course but you will also have to:
•
- complete an in-car course and pass a road skills evaluation;
- be at least 16 years and 3 months old;
- hold your learner's permit for 9 months; and
- drive 45 hours with a parent or guardian (15 of which must be after sunset).
How should we deal with it?
The seven steps of Marzano’s
Dimensions of Learning:
• Knowledge. Information or facts
• Organizing. Comparing, classifying, orderings or
representing.
• Applying. Demonstration prior knowledge within
a new situation.
• Analyzing. Indentifying: Relationships, main
ideas, clarifying, errors or fallacies and
correcting them.
• Generating. Inferring, predicting, elaborating.
• Integrating. Summarizing, restructuring.
• Evaluating. Establishing criteria, verifying.
I worry we are regressing
• The 21st Century skills
• Online instruction is a compromise at best
• The new 3 Rs
– Rigor, Relevance, Relationships
