Overview
The Learning Accelerator is a nonprofit that accelerates the implementation of high-quality blended learning in U.S. school districts by supporting the effective use of technology in education. The group would facilitate the K-12 OER Collaborative, a group of states working to commission high-quality, comprehensive, openly licensed course materials for grades K-12 in math and English Language Arts aligned to the Common Core State Standards. This work helps provide a high-quality OER supply to educators and exemplars of excellent instructional materials, consistent with our "smart demand" strategy.
