Section 777:15-1-5 - Course review requirements(a) Online Course Providers must supply the following to have courses listed in the OOCC: (1) The name of the institution or organization providing the online content;(2) Course title and subject code (using appropriate course title and subject code as established by the Oklahoma State Department of Education's approved Subject Codes for the appropriate academic year);(3) Brief course description;(8) Course designations (e.g., dual-credit, AP, NCAA-eligible, Quality Matters certified);(9) Course prerequisites; and(10) Instructor credential and qualifications.(b) At the time of the course review, guest access to the course will be required for the reviewers. If substantive changes are made to a course since its last certification, it must be submitted for review regardless of its current status in the review cycle. Substantive changes would include altering the intended course outcomes, significantly changing instructional strategies or assessment protocols used in the course as a whole, or any revision that impacts standards alignment. Only courses certified (or pending review) by the Statewide Virtual Charter School Board will be accepted into the Oklahoma Online Course Catalog.(c) Course Providers whose courses have undergone review and approval by a recognized third-party entity must provide the results of those reviews. Depending on the results of the external review, a course may be recommended for state certification with no additional review or with a modified review process (e.g., review only for alignment to state standards).(d) Course Providers of Advanced Placement (AP) courses must provide the results of their College Board AP Course Audit and Authorization. No other course evaluation will be conducted for AP Courses. If a course is authorized by the College Board as an AP course, it is automatically listed as "state-certified" in the Oklahoma Online Course Catalog. Online Providers must provide evidence annually of AP Authorization Renewal.Okla. Admin. Code § 777:15-1-5
