for Education
2
What is SREB-SCORE?
SREB-SCORE is a K-12 and postsecondary
initiative to share quality electronic content in
SREB states.
3
Goals of SREB-SCORE
  • Improve teaching and learning and decrease
    duplication through the use of quality electronic
    content
  • Strive to contain or reduce costs through sharing
  • Increase the number of faculty knowledgeable
    about digital content

4
Potential Instructional Value of SCORE
  • Quality digital content is immediately accessible
    for all teachers, faculty and students
  • Instruction can be adapted to different ways
    students learn through access to quality digital
    learning content
  • Digital content allows for active learning
    thereby increasing the likelihood of increasing
    student interest and learning

5
Is SCORE Cost Efficient?Perhaps, over time
  • SCORE is scalable
  • Course content is portable and can be easily
    updated and modified
  • Time and costs are reduced
  • Teachers can re-use and adapt resources for
    different disciplines (Re-use is the core concept
    of SCORE.)

Who Has Been Key to the Development of SCORE?
  • SREB Educational Technology Cooperative
  • Florida Distance Learning Consortium
  • Louisiana Board of Regents
  • Maryland Department of Education
  • Academic ADL Co-Lab (The Lab is linked to the
    Department of Defense to promoting high quality,
    reusable, standards-based content)

12
What is the SCORE Timeline?Implementation by
Fall 2006
  • Obtain participation agreement with SREB state
    education agencies
  • Seek external funding
  • Continue planning and development of management
    and technical aspects of SCORE

13
Why Should We Participate in SCORE?
  • Digital technology is rapidly changing how we
    live and work. As schools and colleges increase
    their use of digital content, SCORE provides
    states with an opportunity to
  • establish standards for digital content to ensure
    it can be shared and reused
  • train teachers, faculty and staff about and use
    of quality digital content in instruction
  • create state, school and college repositories to
    place and access digital content owned by the
    state
  • access quality digital content from other SREB
    states and
  • use digital technology to improve teaching and
    learning and potentially achieve cost savings

14
What Steps Do We Need to Take?
  • Work with SREB to join the SCORE initiative
  • Identify key state participants
  • Share information about SCORE with state decision
    and policy makers, schools and colleges
  • Initiate or continue the development of state
    digital content repositories
  • Work with SREB staff to facilitate the
    implementation of SCORE
