Ensure that learners have the materials they need to begin courses with WVS:
- Review WVS’ Computer Technology Readiness document with your district’s IT staff to ensure minimum technology requirements are met.
- Obtain any necessary course materials, most courses do not require printed materials.
- Implement your own local policies related to online learning as needed Examples of district policies that may apply to your students in WVS classes include, but are not limited to:

Districts that partner with WVS can hold two different roles; Affiliation User or Coach User. An Affiliation User is able to see all user and learner data within their district and is key player in how WVS is set up within their district. The Coach User(s) can view a subset of learners that they are assigned to, and play a key role in monitoring the progress of learners enrolled in courses with WVS. To learn more about these roles view the District User Roles Page.
