ONEder and OpenEd Announce Partnership to Make Largest Library of Educational Resources Accessible for Students with Disabilities
NEWARK, N.J., Sept. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ONEder announced today that it is partnering with OpenEd to make the entire catalog of OpenEd's educational resources accessible for students with disabilities. OpenEd, an ACT Assessment Technologies company, is the leading K-12 standards-based open educational resource library, offering over a million assessments, homework assignments, videos, games, and lesson plans.
"This partnership marks a major milestone towards inclusive education," said ONEder President and Founder, Jonathan Izak. "Students will finally be able to fully participate in classroom lessons as a whole instead of the segmented experience many students face today."
As a special education platform, ONEder works by seamlessly connecting all the moving parts of the special education eco-system to provide one simple platform to deliver lessons using universal design for learning (UDL) strategies, provide accommodations for students with special needs, and track data to show progress towards IEP goals and state standards mastery. The platform enables educators to deliver rigorous instruction for all students while supporting the specific needs of individuals with disabilities. This new partnership enables educators using ONEder to have access to the world's leading k-12 resource library.
"The beauty of this integration is that OpenEd will be a huge timesaver for teachers and professionals who spend hours developing lessons," said Dan Haskell, VP of Business Development at ONEder. "They will now be able to spend their time doing what's most important, teaching students valuable lessons."
"We are thrilled to provide aligned and effective resources via API to the users of the innovative ONEder platform," said Adam Blum, CEO of OpenEd. "Personalized resource recommendations are important for all students, but they can be particularly helpful in filling the diverse needs in the special education ecosystem."
