**AEA Online Collaborative Worksheet**
It is our hope at Heartland to enter a collaborative with all the other AEAs to jointly determine and guide online learning (specifically the online trainings). This collaborative would share vision, input, decision-making, resources, and costs related to online trainings.

Specifically with costs, this would involve two things. 1) A yearly maintenance agreement, to ensure the system runs smoothly and technical support is provided, and 2) a separate proposal system for either new content or to update old content. For #2, the council would look at each separate proposal as they arise, and determine if this is a project they would like to pursue.

We also are very open and interested in how this might be extended to online professional development course offerings.

• Determining a yearly maintenance cost structure that AEAs would agree to. • Agreeing to look as a council at establishing new content or updates • Identifying stakeholders to include in this discussion, and coordinating communication with those stakeholders • Examine the optimal customer support distribution • Examine the merits of a neutral hosting site for web servers, with access for each AEA. • Discussing the benefits and logistics involved with having a meshed system of online professional development course offerings available statewide
 * Tasks for us to look at:**

From Curt Jeffryes, the original pricing structure for the online courses was based on student number, and was broken out by training.
 * Past Historical Pricing Structure**

Mandatory Reporter Training used a ratio of 10:1 for students to licensed staff. It charged $1 for the Mandatory Training per year, per licensed staff (as determined by the number of students).

OSHA trainings (Bloodborne, Lockout/Tagout, Asbestos, Right to Know) used the 10:1 ratio for licensed staff, 80:1 for custodial/maintenance staff, and 120:1 for food service. It charge $1 for the entire package of OSHA trainings per staff member (as determined by the number of students).
