  • If you completed an activity during the evening of a scheduled work day (online course, etc.) provide that explanation in the notes section.
  • Submit as many hours as possible in a single entry (for example, if you completed 6 EdWebinar, 1 hour modules, enter them as a 6 hour activity instead of 6 separate ones).
