Five timers are built into this course (State Requirement):
Tracks the total time you are logged into your account. This time is for informational purposes only and does not count toward the required course hours.
Tracks time actively spent reading course material, watching videos, or completing tests. Only Course Time counts toward Ohio's required 24 hours of Online Driver Education. Logging in without completing coursework will not increase your Course Time.
After 2 hours (120 minutes) of continuous study, the system will automatically log you out for a mandatory 15-minute break.
You may complete a maximum of 4 hours (240 minutes) of training per calendar day. Once the daily limit is reached, you will be logged out and may resume the course the following day.
If there is 15 minutes of inactivity, you will be logged out. Idle time does not count toward your Course Time.
Note: Only active Course Time (reading, watching videos, completing tests) counts toward Ohio's required 24 hours. Logging in without completing coursework will not increase your Course Time.
