Creating classes in DAISI to utilize GED-i

Creating GED-i classes in DAISI Page 1/7
In DAISI there are three different ways to set up classes to utilize GED-i. As with setting up all classes in
DAISI, the first step is to “Add” a class from the main DAISI navigation bar. This is done by doing the
following:
The three different GED-i class types are:
1. At a distance - Class time using GED-i must be set at 100%. The enrollment type for this class
must always be Individualized Enrollment. When entering attendance, 1 hour should be entered
for each lesson completed with 70% or greater accuracy. (See below for more information)
2. Supplemental - Class time using GED-i will most likely be less than 100% as it is simply a part
of an existing GED class. The percentage is this area is an estimate of the percentage of time the
class will be using GED-i as a part of the instructional process. The enrollment type can be either
open or fixed entry. Attendance will be entered exactly as a regularly scheduled class with no
additional entry needed for GED-i use. (See below for more information)
3. Hybrid - Class time using GED-i will again be less than 100% as it just reflects the percentage of
time GED-i will be used as a part of classroom instruction. The enrollment type can be either open
or fixed entry. Since a hybrid class meets on a regular schedule and the student completes lessons
“At a distance,” two options for attendance will be present for this class type. (See below for
more information)
* Please review the DAISI manual or the Adult Education and Family Literacy Provider Manual
for more information regarding Fixed Entry, Open Entry and Individualized Enrollment.

A few other reminders about classes conducted “At a distance”
• When setting up this class, you will be required to enter a building. However, all of the work for
this class is done “At a distance.” You can select the main or “default” building in use by the
program in this field. If the class is taught by an instructor who has an office, it may be helpful to
record the building where the instructor’s office is housed.
• GED-i classes should be attached to courses that are approved for the instructional category of
ASE.
