More Open Courses for the K12 Community Now Offered By Saylor.org
Saylor.org, a longtime member of the open education community, announced a new K12 program of open online courses.
The academic courses are aligned to the Common Core State Standards and use open educational resources (OER) extensively, making the courses, as well as their contents, widely reusable by students, teachers, and parents nationwide.
The list of the K12 courses also suggests ways to use and reuse the courses.
Teachers can flip their classroom without shooting thei own videos and incorporate more engaging digital content into classes.
Schools can get current, Common Core-aligned materials for free.
Parents can provide extra resources to supplement what kids learn in school and accelerate or review subjects. It offers a self-contained curriculum for home school families.
And, on their own, students can do more challenging work or subjects their school might not offer. It will give you experience in learning in a different way and acclimate to an online learning environment which is common in colleges. You can also review material you learned in school and go further and prepare for your SATs/college.
(And I made it through this entire post without once saying "MOOC.")
