Knovation Simplifies Districts’ Access to Collection of Vetted Online Resources
Cincinnati, Ohio (PRWEB) February 03, 2016 -- As the U.S. Department of Education #GoOpen initiative reaches a critical point in its expansion, educators face the challenge of vetting an exponentially growing pool of digital resources to find content that is accurate, relevant and aligned to standards. Knovation is supporting districts in this endeavor by increasing access to its content collection containing hundreds of thousands of professionally-evaluated online resources that are hand-selected, standards-aligned and tagged by curriculum experts following a rigorous certification process.
Previously, the Knovation Content Collection was only available through the company’s award-winning applications, netTrekker and icurio. The growing need for high-quality, ready-to-use online learning resources led Knovation to simplify access to its collection through integration with other systems and platforms, following a “one-stop shop” concept.
Findings of a recent survey* reveal that teachers spend upwards of five hours a week sifting through all the different content available to them, equivalent to 12.5 percent of their workweek. This percentage highlights the need for simpler, less time-consuming ways to access quality resources that enable personalized learning in a digital environment.
“Increasing access choices to our content collection amplifies the possibilities for personalized learning and eliminates tedious work for teachers,” said Randy Wilhelm, CEO of Knovation. “As more districts use digital resources as a textbook replacement, we recognize how important it is to keep the classroom transition as simple as possible.”
The Knovation Content Team, a group of experienced classroom teachers and curriculum experts, continuously evaluates hundreds of thousands of online learning resources for quality and relevancy, and accepted resources are aligned to standards and tagged according to subject, grade level and other relevant criteria.
The Knovation Content Collection can be integrated with Learning Management Systems (LMS), assessment platforms, Library Automation Systems and Learning Object Repositories (LOR).
