OER Resources from the #LCCOER Summit
I attended Lansing
Community College's 2nd Annual Open Educational Resources Summit on
Feb. 24th. As I was gathering resources from the summit to share in a blog, I had a bulletin from the Library of Michigan appear in my inbox with the following timely information. These are all worth checking out!
From Karren Reish of the Library of Michigan -

community. Thanks to Rita Kohrman from Grand Valley State University for

OpenEd is the only K-12
educational resource library focused on aligning resources to learning
objectives. Specifically, OpenEd uses machine learning to accurately align
videos, games, and assessments to learning goals such as the Common Core State
Standards, NGSS, TEKS and detailed taxonomies of fine-grained learning
objectives (from Renaissance, ACT, and others). We
believe teachers should be able to find the most effective resources for their
students all in one place, and all organized by standards.
