Kyte Learning: Access and Compensation

Summer 2023 Note: All Kyte Hours must be completed and submitted by August 31, 2023. Our service with Kyte Learning is closing at that time, and Kyte trainings will no longer be available after this date. Stay tuned for information on alternative asynchronous learning options soon.

ALL KYTE LEARNING MUST START AND END OUTSIDE OF THE CONTRACT DAY. START DATE and START TIME along with COMPLETED DATE and TIME COMPLETED must be included on your report. The start and completed time must also correspond with the length of the video watched. For example, a one hour video started at 4:00 PM must have a completed time no sooner than 5:00 PM

Certificated staff have six technology per diem hours each school year. For the purpose of Kyte, the school year runs September 1 – August 31. Once those six per diem hours are used, an additional 15 hours at the in-service rate may be earned via Kyte Learning, other approved online learning options or face to face trainings. All courses must be complete by August 31, and compensation requests for the school year must be received no later than September 3.

Certificated staff have six technology per diem hours each school year. Staff are paid at the per diem rate for the first six hours of tech training. Once those six per diem hours are used (for example if you used 3 hours for attending a Building Tech Series and 3 hours for completing a Kyte course), staff may be paid for an additional 15 hours at the in-service rate for Kyte Learning. In total, each year, a staff member can be paid for up to 21 hours of Kyte Learning (provided their first six hours of tech training were done through Kyte.)

Staff are welcome to use Kyte Learning as often as desired for their own personal learning. To be compensated, the guidelines must be met and the tutorials must be completed outside the contract day. If they are not, the compensation form and Kyte Learning Detailed Report Excel Sheet will be returned for correction.

Submitting a request for compensation for Kyte Learning

Run and save a Detailed Report from Kyte Learning’s new report interface. Make sure to select the following to be included in the report:

Date Range for courses being submitted
First and Last Name
Email Address
Course Title
Percent Video Watched (must equal a minimum of 90%)
Video Time Watched (this column is used to calculate the number of hours for compensation; of videos where % is more than 90%)
Course Video Duration
Assessment Score (must be 80% or above)
Start Date and Date Completed
Start Time and Time Completed

This will create an Excel spreadsheet with the above information. When submitting the compensation request, you will be asked to upload this document.

Enter time (by month) on the electronic Request for Compensation form in hours and minutes rounded to the nearest 15 minutes (.25 = quarter of an hour or 15 minutes). A minimum of one hour should be viewed prior to submitting a compensation request. For example, if training was done in January and February during a given school year, two forms will need to be submitted for each month.

Your Kyte Learning report will be submitted through the request for compensation form.

If you have questions about the process please reach out to Yasmin Masood (MasoodY@issaquah.wednet.edu)

Please note: The deadline for submitting electronic compensation forms for payment the following month is the last day of the previous month.
