Anyone know what this legalize "contact hours" means in Illinois speak? It's regarding continuing education. Seems like it means an educational activity that must be done in person. There are 16 contact hours needed out of the 24 total in Illinois. Not sure if you can get by all of it by doing online courses.



i) Definitions

1) "Contact Hour" means one 60 minute clock hour of an educational activity with no less than 50 minutes of instructional content within the hour. Credit shall be granted in half-hour increments. A qualifying activity of 30 to 49 minutes would be reported as 0.5 contact hours and an activity of 50 to 60 minutes would be reported as 1.0 contact hour.
