TEA Partners with Study Edge to Create OER - TechNotes Blog - TCEA

"Today, more and more teachers are aware of Open Educational Resources (OER) and how OER can enhance instruction for little or no cost. However, many teachers may not be as familiar with the latest enhancement in OER: standards-aligned video content. In the spring of 2017, Study Edge was privileged to team up with the Texas Education Agency to develop videos and study guides covering each and every standard in Chemistry, Physics, Precalculus, and Statistics. These open-source materials are now available free of charge for all Texas teachers through the Texas Gateway. All materials are aligned with the state standards (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)) and are composed of a video “book” that may be used to teach an entire course or to supplement traditional textbooks. The edtech company Study Edge creates high-quality, engaging instructional videos, study guides, and other content and technology in partnership with colleges and universities, individual schools and school districts, and state and federal agencies. Current partners include the State of Florida, the State of Mississippi, the State of Michigan, the State of South Carolina, and the New York City Department of Education, as well as more than 200 colleges and universities across the country; over 1,000,000 students have benefited from Study Edge’s resources, both inside and outside of the classroom. This partnership between the Texas Education Agency and Study Edge is an indication of the bright future of Open Educational Resources. In addition to textbooks and curricula, OER is now interactive content that can enhance and even transform classroom instruction at no additional cost to schools. Study Edge is thrilled to be a part of this movement...."
