The purpose of this document is to help agencies collect data in virtual education settings, incorporate the data into governance processes and policies, and use the data to improve virtual education offerings. This resource reflects lessons learned by the education data community during the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and provides recommendations that will help agencies collect and use virtual education data.  \nIn 2006, the National Forum on Education Statistics (Forum) published the Forum Guide to Elementary/Secondary Virtual Education ([https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2006/2006803.pdf](https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2006/2006803.pdf)) to address the need among state and local education agencies (SEAs and LEAs) for information on virtual education, including considerations for modifying traditional data elements and systems to better capture virtual education data. The 2006 resource was updated in 2016 by a working group of SEAs and LEAs. The 2016 Forum Guide to Elementary/Secondary Virtual Education ([https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2016/NFES2016095.pdf](https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2016/NFES2016095.pdf)) was intended to assist SEAs and LEAs as they consider the impact of virtual education on established data elements and methods of data collection, and address the scope of changes, the rapid pace in which new technology has developed, and the proliferation of resources in virtual education.  \nIn spring 2020, nearly all school districts across the nation transitioned to virtual education during extended school closures caused by the COVID-19 pandemi","cbCaigVxlWtgVc0g","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigVxlWtgVc0g","pdf",8686692,85,"English","# Foreword\n## Purpose and scope of the guide\n## Publication objectives","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of this guide?\",\"answer\":\"It helps education agencies collect data in virtual education settings, incorporate the data into governance processes and policies, and use the data to improve virtual education offerings.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the guide focus on, and what does it not try to cover?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on virtual education data from the education data community perspective.
