The Essential Role of a Statewide Open Education Resource (OER) Repository

A learning object repository is a digital collection of educational resources and instructional materials meticulously curated and easily integrated at the district level to support teaching and learning. These resources (also referred to as learning objects) are tagged with metadata (e.g., keywords, grade level, subject, and instructional standards) making them easily searchable and accessible to educators and students. As a centralized learning object repository that integrates seamlessly with various Learning Management Systems (LMS) and instructional tools, it catalyzes achieving educational goals and student outcomes by having high-quality, preferred resources available to classrooms just a click away.
