ONEder, OpenEd Partner on Resource Library for Students with Disabilities
ONEder, a special education learning management system provider, now integrates with OpenEd,
an educational resource library for K-12. The partnership provides
educators using ONEder with access to the OpenEd resource library.
According
to information from the company, ONEder supports educators implementing
universal design for learning (UDL) strategies in the classroom. The
special education LMS helps them "provide accommodations for students
with special needs" and "track data to show progress toward IEP
[individual education plan] goals and state standards mastery,"
according to a news release.
OpenEd's educational resource
library includes lesson plans, videos, games, homework assignments and
assessments for language arts, math, science and social studies for all
K-12 students. With the integration of ONEder and OpenEd, teachers in
inclusive classrooms can take advantages of OpenEd's personalized
resource recommendations for all students, while using ONEder to
provide modifications and track data for their students with special
needs.
"This partnership marks a major milestone towards
inclusive education," said Jonathan Izak, president and founder of
ONEder, in a prepared statement. "Students will finally be able to
fully participate in classroom lessons as a whole instead of the
segmented experience many students face today."
Dan Haskell, VP
of business development at ONEder, said he thinks the integration of OpenEd
with ONEder "will be a huge timesaver for teachers and professionals
who spend hours developing lessons."
Further information about ONEder and its integration with OpenEd can be found on ONEder's site.
