Online Physical Education Overview
1. Fitness Evaluations
Students are required to attend a pre and post fitness evaluation. This evaluation will help students recognize their strengths and set goals with an instructor to work
on areas for improvement. Students are required to return near the end of the
course for a post fitness assessment that will help to determine how successful the
activities have been in terms of improving overall physical fitness. This is mandatory
for all students.
2. Physical Activity
Students are expected to be active in the community during the course. Activity is
defined by five categories, aerobic activity, strength training and team/individual
activity. Student must complete and verify a minimum of 25 hours of participation
in each category, for a total minimum 85 hours. (For PE 10‐3 the requirement is a
total of 50 hours)
3. Quizzes
Quizzes, based on course content, are available in online format.
4. Citizenship Project
The intent of the Citizenship Project is to immerse students in the practical aspects of the
course. The instructor is looking for students that engage in activity at a higher
level, for example, achieving certification in First Aid/CPR, coaching, referring or
instructing or volunteering or organizing a major athletic event.
5. Journal
Students are expected to post a weekly update on progress.
6. Participation: Discussions and Drop-ins
The instructor and students will lead a number of discussions throughout the
course. There may be optional drop‐in opportunities during the course.
