Highlight Personalized Learning Platform Adds New Content Providers
Education
Elements has added three more curated
content providers to the list of about two dozen other providers that
teachers
and students can access via its personalized learning platform
Highlight.
The
Highlight platform is a cloud-based
technology that allows for the integration of educational content,
including
student information systems. A school district can use it to deploy
throughout
its district, at the same time making certain pedagogical tools
available to
individual students or classes. The goal of Education Elements' curated
partner
catalog is to deliver personalized instructional experiences.
The
three new content providers are Epiphany
Learning, Own It U and Spider
Learning.
Epiphany
Learning is a learning relationship
management system, Own It U is a student ramp-up course designed to help
students who
are behind to catch up with their peers and Spider Learning describes
itself
as a collection of curricular solutions, instructional resources and
innovative tools.
Education Elements Founder and CEO Anthony Kim
said, "In the past five years we have continued to grow our curated catalog while maintaining our focus on only the best-in-class digital content providers and tools for students. We are proud to announce the newest partners and know they will bring value to the districts we support."
Of the new agreement, Epiphany Learning Founder
and CEO
Laura Henderson said, "If we want to create student-centric learning,
we need
to start with vision and the role of the educator — and Education
Elements is a
leader at doing this."
Own It U CEO Jim Blair said, "More than ever
students
need to own their learning. Own It! is committed to enabling students
to connect
their deepest motivations to details goals in the same way as Ed
Elements is
committed to personalizing each student's education."
