LOS GATOS, Calif.

The company is announcing new partnerships with LMS companies Otus Learning Management Network and Atlas Learning, and Higher Learning Technology for its test prep apps. OpenEd’s resources already are available through leading assessment companies, including Renaissance Learning, which is using OpenEd’s learning activities, videos and homework assignments aligned to standards and tagged for specific curriculum uses, and making them available to the more than 30,000 schools who use Renaissance’s STAR assessment.
“At OpenEd, our mission is to ensure that all teachers and students have access to assessments, videos, educational games and other standards-aligned resources,” said Adam Blum, CEO of OpenEd. “Our new API allows us to make our library of standards-aligned resources available to companies across the education space, including LMS, test prep and assessment, so they can provide standards-aligned content for personalizing learning to the educators that they serve.”
The Otus Learning Management Network is an easy-to-use mobile learning environment that brings all the best classroom tools together into one secure location.
“In Otus, teachers can easily use analytics to run reports based on standards to learn how individual students or groups of students are progressing,” said Otus Chief Product Officer Chris Hull, who also co-founded the company and is a seventh grade teacher at Elm Place Middle School in suburban Chicago. “With resources like OpenEd discoverable in Otus, teachers can quickly find resources to fulfill specific needs and provide personalized learning.”
