Description:
Dr. Jon Voss, Online Learning Principal, Dr. Jane Holmberg, Executive Director of Teaching & Learning, and Jon Fila, Online/Mobile Learning Coordinator and Innovation Coach will present an overview of the recently-completed digital Minnesota Studies Course that was written as a collaborative effort among 13 school districts. The course being piloted during this academic year is an alternative to traditional print curriculum. Districts investing in collaborative curriculum development realize (1) the power of technology to engage students in learning, (2) significant cost savings over purchasing curriculum from a vendor, and (3) more opportunity to keep information up to date and to include elements of particular importance to the district than with traditionally published curriculum. The project is summarized in “What Board Members Should Know about Collaborative Digital Curriculum Projects,” a memorandum that also foreshadows plans for future collaborative digital course development.
